License Server produces a different log file each day. The current day's log file is ls_access.log. Older log files are dated in the following format: ls_access.log.yyyy-mm-dd. By default, logs are stored for the last 90 days. See Configuring License Server for information about changing how long logs are stored.

Each time a tool makes a request for a license token, a new entry is added to the log file. Each entry is encapsulated in the <log_entry> element.

While most of the elements in the <log_entry> element should be self-explanatory, below are a few that might benefit from some clarification:

  • log_entry/loginUserName: The login name used for authentication, such as the login name in basic authentication.

  • log_entry/osUserName: The name of the user logged into the operating system where License Server is running.
  • log_entry/request/userName: The username requesting the license token. The username will either be the loginUserName or osUserName depending on the setting on the License Server.
  • No labels
