Finding out Adobe Experience Manager last restart time

Could anyone please temme how to know when my AEM Author/Publish instance was last restarted? I know it can be done from logs. But which log and is there any keyword with which I can grep the log?

Solution

  • Yes, you can rely on logs to find this out. error.log and stdout.log look promising. You can grep for any of the sling start events from stdout.log. Logs from stdout.log during restart:

    Loading quickstart properties: default
Loading quickstart properties: instance
Quickstart startup at Thu Sep 13 11:54:21 AEST 2018
UpgradeUtil.handleInstallAndUpgrade has mode RESTART
13.09.2018 11:54:21.762 *INFO * [main] Setting sling.home=D:\Tools\aem\author\crx-quickstart (command line)
13.09.2018 11:54:21.772 *INFO * [main] Starting Apache Sling in D:\Tools\aem\author\crx-quickstart

    Quicker way: There is an admin page which will give you last started time OOTB -> http://<<host>>:<<port>>/system/console/vmstat
