How to add the hostname to every line of SystemOut.log ?

Question

Hello,

We have load balancing and the same name on multiple instances of WebSphere 6.1.

Is there a way to WebSphere need to add the physical hostname to the WebSphere SystemOut.log lines (for example, to prepend to every line)?

Thanks, Bert

Answer 1

I assume you are trying to see how the load is distributed across all the WAS Instances (in a cluster as you had mentioned load balancing)

Is that a web application that you are working with?

If yes the cloneID would give you the answers. Each Server in a cluster is given a unique clone ID.

Look at the Web Server's plugin logs and see which server received the request.

This can be used for a Web Application to see which server serviced the request.
