What are the different log files in WSO2 ESB?

logging, wso2, wso2-esb

Solution

Well I experienced now the following:

- http_access_xxxx.log: Contains log of any HTTP access (in my case only the carbon admin jsp)

- wso2carbon.log: Contains the real log output of the Application Server (most important one)

- wso2carbon-trace-messages.log: Always empty - don't know what it is for

- wso2-esb-error.log: Lists all WARNING and ERROR message from the wso2carbon.log again here - no INFO or DEBUG messages

- wso2-esb-service.log: Contains all logs that have been made with the "Log" Mediator in Synapse Proxies or Sequences

- wso2-esb-trace.log: Always empty - don't know what it is for

Well just add your monitoring on the wso2carbon.log file and you have everything essential.

Problem

In WSO2 ESB I have several log files in the repository/log directory. What are the differences and which one should I use for the daily control if everything is alright? Here the list of log files:
