Allow option to log Context Not Found errors

When a problem/corruption occurs in one instance of a cluster, it is a challenge to identify which Liberty JVM has the problem.

In a Case I opened with IBM, I had cluster of 50+ CICS regions with the same Liberty JVM & application running in the region. We identified that one (or more) of the instances were corrupt and when the client would load balance to that instance, they would get a HTTP 404 Context Not Found webpage. First, this webpage identifies itself using the WAS branding, not the more modern Liberty nomenclature. However, this error doesn't identify which instance had the problem nor is it logged to messages.log . Through the Case, we were informed that is not an option and to open an Idea for it.

In the meantime, to resolve Production impact, we had to, one-by-one, switch the JVM to an alternate port to target that one directly until we found a single instance was corruption and required a cache flush and application reinstall. This was far more involved than it should have been.

    Hi, thank you for opening an idea with us.

    We believe the information you are looking for can be obtained through HTTP access logging, which provides visibility into incoming requests, including the request details and HTTP response status. This should help you identify and track specific 404 responses without needing to bypass the proxy or make changes to the ports.

    We have a document that provides more information on configuring and using access logging: https://openliberty.io/docs/latest/access-logging.html

    Please let us know if you have any questions while setting this up or if you find that the information provided by the access logs does not address your specific use case. We would be happy to discuss further.
