For information about using the PAC, see Application Administration Using the PAC.

Logs

Director provides a logging facility that writes information in one of several standard logs. After you set up logging, you can use the PAC to set or reset the level of detail for each standard log element.

Various levels of detail determine how much information is written to the log. A 0 value means no messages are logged, and a 5 means all messages are logged.

For more information about setting up logging and detail levels, see Handling Errors and Logging Information.

Cache

Director can use a built-in server-side cache to store reusable, temporary data to optimize performance. This section describes:

For information about the cache manager, see EbiCacheManager.

Cache Settings

The Cache Settings section of the Configuration panel allows you enable or disable the cache and set the size of the resources the cache manager can control.

For information about cache settings, see EbiCacheConstants.

You can use the Save button to temporarily change the in-memory cache settings. To change the settings permanently, modify the framework configuration file and redeploy the application.

Cache Holders

The Cache Holders section of the Configuration panel allows you to flush cached objects from all server-lifetime cache holders, or any specific cache holder.

Click the dropdown list button to see a list of cache holders.

Cache Coordinator

The Cache Coordinator section of the Configuration panel displays the cache coordinator parameters set at deployment time.

For information about cache settings, see EbiCacheConstants.

Cache Statistics

The Cache Statistics section of the Configuration panel displays the current state of the cache.

For information about cache settings, see EbiCacheConstants.
