How do I turn on API tracing to get additional logging within Webtrends?

Products

Webtrends Analytics 9.x
Webtrends Analytics 8.x

Cause

You need to get additional logging for the application, that is not normally captured by the standard logs.

Resolution

Turn on API tracing by modifying the ./common/lib/wtliveglue.ini. The settings will be –
[wtliveglue]
Api_profile=0
Api_trace=0

Change them both to be

[wtliveglue]
Api_profile=1
Api_trace=1

Save the file, restart the Webtrends services.

New logs with the word “trace” will be found in the logs directory. They will contain an abundance of information and leaving it on, will fill up space. Use this setting with caution.
