Description

The Domino Console (also known as Live Console / Java-based server console) allows remote operation of the server via Domino Administrator or a dedicated console app. DEBUG_DOMINO_CONSOLE=1 turns on detailed trace output that shows how the console connection is established, authenticated, and which commands are received or forwarded.
Helps with issues such as Live Console fails to connect, commands don't reach the server, or console output is truncated.

Example configuration

DEBUG_DOMINO_CONSOLE=1
Debug_Outfile=/local/notesdata/IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT/console_debug.log

Notes & pitfalls

  • Enable only temporarily – produces extensive logs.
  • Takes effect immediately via set config DEBUG_DOMINO_CONSOLE=1; a server restart is not strictly required.
  • Entries appear in console.log and in Debug_Outfile.
  • Complementary to DEBUG_CONSOLE_INPUT, Debug_Console, Console_Log_Enabled.
  • Particularly important on headless servers, where only the remote console is available for operation.
