Create on JBoss / Wildfly an http access log handler

Launch the cli GUI (under your [widlfy directory]\bin):

       
jboss-cli --gui  controller=machine-name or ip:9990 --user=[wildfly user] --password=[password]

     
 

Run the command to create the access log:

       


/subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/host=default-host/setting=access-log:add(pattern="%A%t%h%l%u%r%s%b%T%I", directory="${jboss.server.log.dir}", prefix=access, suffix=".log")

       
 

If you want to read log files remotely:

List log files:

       
/subsystem=logging/:list-log-files

Recover the entire log file (careful on the size):

       

/subsystem=logging/:read-log-file(name=server.log,lines=-1,skip=0)

Recover just the tail : 

       


/subsystem=logging/:read-log-file(name=server.log,tail=true,lines=10,skip=0)
