Where to find in IBM Websphere 7.0 admin console to configure http_access.log to show response time

We are using IBM Websphere 7.0 Server. I need to configure to see response time in the http_access.log. I navigated through most of the admin console options, but I am not sure where to find it.

Solution

  • PM68250 added the custom log formats to WAS 7.0.0.25 and later:

    http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PM68250

    To enable this new functionality please add the "accessLogFormat" custom property to the HTTP Channel, the panel on the administrative console can be found here: Application Servers > {Server Name} > Web Container Transport Chains > {Chain Name} > {HTTP Channel Name} > Custom Properties

    Also, please ensure the "Use chain-specific logging" option is enabled on the HTTP Channel where the previously mentioned property is enabled.
