Unable stop JBOSS running in DEBUG mode

[raghum Kambaiah]

Friends, I am system admin for a PDM application, and using JBOSS for web app server

I am facing a issue on my Solaris webserver where JBOSS is running, some how it's starting in DEBUG mode, please check execept from server.log

* I checked log4j.xml and there no "DEBUG" levels, all teh log levels are set to "INFO"
* Checked my run.sh/run.conf, there no debug set in JAVAOPT

here is how my server.log appears, currenly this is production issue where the JBOSS log is consuming tons of space allocated for logs, can you guys help me how i can disable the DEBUG mode

Checked with all the available search methods in goole for some solution no sucess yet , Need some urgent help

Which version of JBoss AS is this and what are the contents of JBOSS_HOME/server/< servername>/conf/*-log4j.xml?

While posting logs, xml or code, please wrap it in a code block (you can use the Code button in the editor window). Also please use the Preview button to make sure your post is correctly formatted

[Aneesh Vijendran]

Kill it.

Grep the process Jboss (Sometime you have to grep for java)

ps -aux |grep Jboss

Find the process id and then kill it.

Probably the issue might be as you have started in Debug mode the RMI server is also started for remote debugging.

Cheers

From what I understand of the original post from Raghum, he's concerned with the DEBUG level logs. Although yes, the title of this thread is confusing.

Thanks Jaikiran for pointing the mistake.

Raghu - I guess you need to open the conf/log4j.xml and find the category for "org.jboss" (As this category is logged with Debug), Then Turn the DEBUG to ERROR

If you don't have that category, Create one and do the same.

Also check for all DEBUG's inside the conf/log4j.xml and change it to ERROR.

Take backup before you do it.

Friends, SOrry for delay since the server is in production i can only do testing during early hours

- I stopped the JBOSS completely
-I changed everything in log4j.xml from "DEBUG" to "ERROR", attached log4.xml in .txt format fro exper review,
- Rstarted the service
- Here is the JBOSS statup from nohup.out

You still have the following:

  

    <!-- Limit the org.apache category to INFO as its ERROR is verbose -->  
    <category name="org.apache">  
       <priority value="INFO"/>  
    </category>  
   
    <!-- Limit the org.jgroups category to WARN as its INFO is verbose -->  
    <category name="org.jgroups">  
       <priority value="WARN"/>  
    </category>  
   
    <!-- Limit apache axis to INFO as its ERROR is even more verbose -->  
    <category name="org.apache.axis">  
       <priority value="INFO"/>  
    </category>  
   
    <!-- Limit JBoss categories  
    <category name="org.jboss">  
       <priority value="INFO"/>  
    </category>  
    -->  
   
    <!-- Limit the JSR77 categories -->  
    <category name="org.jboss.management">  
       <priority value="INFO"/>  
    </category>

 

Change them to ERROR

Also make sure the follwing is uncommented from the above:

 
    <!-- Limit JBoss categories  
    <category name="org.jboss">  
       <priority value="INFO"/>  
    </category>  
    -->  
   

..and made ERROR as well.

Restart the server. This should work.

Mate - Why don't you read my posts clearly?

I had clearly told to remove the comments from:

<-- Limit JBoss categories  
     <category name="org.jboss">  
        <priority value="ERROR"/>  
</category>  
 -->  

When I say comments: <-- --> is what I meant.

How do you expect this to work when you comment this category?
