switchlogging : turn on/off certain logging information for debugging purpose.
The various components of ArcGIS Server are equipped with logging capabilities to aid in debugging and troubleshooting. When ArcGIS Server is installed on Linux/Solaris, some of the logging capabilities are disabled or set to a minimal level and it is the recommended setting for a production environment. For the purpose of troubleshooting, you can turn on the logging by running this 'switchlogging' script.

You need to run this script as ArcGIS Server Install owner. This script also restarts ArcGIS Server.

Usage: switchlogging [status|on|off]

When the logging is turned on using the switchlogging script, detailed logs are created in:
1. <ArcGIS Server Installation directory>/arcgis/logs/server/SOC_logs/arcsoc.<process id>.log
2. <ArcGIS Server Installation directory>/arcgis/server/user/log/*.dat
3. <ArcGIS Server Installation directory>/arcgis/logs/ecs/regss.log
4. <ArcGIS Server Installation directory>/arcgis/logs/ecs/rpcss.log
5. <ArcGIS Server Installation directory>/arcgis/servercore/agsidsvr/agsldap/slapd-machinename/logs/errors
6. <ArcGIS Server Installation directory>/arcgis/servercore/agsidsvr/agsldap/slapd-machinename/logs/access
7. <ArcGIS Server Installation directory>/arcgis/servercore/agsidsvr/agsldap/slapd-machinename/logs/audit
8. In addition ArcSDE intercept logs (SDEInterceptLog.*) is created in <ArcGIS Server Installation directory>/arcgis/logs/server/SOM_logs directory if any active services consumes data from ArcSDE.
When the logging is turned off, the SOM logs (<ArcGIS Server Installation directory>/arcgis/logs/server/SOM_logs/*.dat) is set to the default level (normal) and all other logs are set to minimum logging level. No ArcSDE intercept logs will be created.
