Configure application debug

To enable debug for application testing:

  1. Navigate to the Access Gateway Admin UI console
  2. From the Topology tab or the Applications tab, open the application.
  3. Select the Settings pane.
  4. Expand the Advanced sub-tab.
  5. Set the Debug toggle to Enable.
    The debug toggle, which can be found in the Advanced application settings.
  6. Click Done.

    7. When debugging applications: Consider testing attributes with static known good values. For example, change dynamic IDP based fields to static with known good values.
    When debugging policy based applications: Test with no policy or open policy first.

Configure Access Gateway for debug and monitoring

You can optionally configure Access Gateway Management console to output a running display of all system log messages.

To enable this debugging mode and monitor Access Gateway:

  1. Open a terminal and use SSH to connect to the Access Gateway Management console (ssh oag-mgmt@gw-admin.<domain.tld>).
  2. Enter 4 - Monitoring.
  3. Enter 2 - Enable Debug.
  4. Enter 1 - Monitor logs. This starts the running display of all log messages.

Return to the Access Gateway Admin UI console console. You can test your application and examine the results in the running logs. Use[ctrl][c] to exit the log display.

See Monitor for more details about monitoring, including a list of available commands.

The debug logging level rapidly generates log messages. Always disable debug logging when you've finished examining the logs.

Not disabling debug logging can lead to rapid log file growth, which can result in errors due to lack of storage space.

Test
