Viewing the System Log

The system log messages that MarkLogic Server generates are viewable using the standard system log viewing tools available for your platform. On Windows platforms, the seven levels of logging messages are collapsed into three broad categories and the system log messages are registered as MarkLogic. On UNIX platforms, the system logs use the LOG_DAEMON facility, which typically sends system log messages to a file such as /var/log/messages, although this can vary according to the configuration of your system.
