Question

How to enable detailed logging of incoming requests and outgoing responses in PTV xServer 2 for debugging or monitoring purposes.

Answer

Instructions:

To log both the requests sent to the server and the responses returned:

➤ For xServer 2:

1. Open the configuration file located at:

   <xserver-installation>/conf/xserver.conf
   

2. Add or modify the following parameters:

   logRequest = true
   logResponse = true
   

3. Restart the relevant xServer service to apply the changes.

➤ For legacy xServer 1:

If you're using an older xServer 1 setup, these parameters should be added or changed in:

<installation>/conf/xserver.properties

After enabling these settings, the server will log each request and response in the main log file of the corresponding xServer module (e.g., routing, geocoding, etc.).
