To enable debug logging in your web application, add a JUL logging.properties
file under your application's WEB-INF
directory.
In your appengine-web.xml
file, specify the location of the logging file as a system property:
<system-properties>
<property name="java.util.logging.config.file" value="WEB-INF/logging.properties"/>
</system-properties>
For runtimes using the Jetty 9.4 code path (Java 8 - Java 17), there is a known issue where debug logging will not be output unless full debug logging is enabled with .level=ALL
.
In the Java 21 runtime with Jetty 12, more granular debug logging is available. For example:
.level=INFO
org.eclipse.jetty.session.level=ALL
org.eclipse.jetty.server.level=ALL
A Jetty Server Dump is useful for debugging issues by providing details about Jetty components and their configuration, including thread pools, connectors, contexts, classloaders, servlets, and more.
To enable a Jetty Server Dump after the AppEngineWebAppContext
is started (which may occur after the first request in RPC mode), use the following system property:
<system-properties>
<property name="jetty.server.dumpAfterStart" value="true"/>
</system-properties>
