Locating log files

For help diagnosing a problem, provide log files to Customer Support.  In addition to the Fortify log files described in this topic, also consider providing the Eclipse error log file stored in the workspace's .metadata directory.

On Windows systems, the default Fortify log files are the following directories:

  • C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Fortify\sca<version>\log

    The log files in this directory are only available if you analyze the code locally with OpenText SAST.

  • C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Fortify\Eclipse.Plugin-<version>\log
  • C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Fortify\scancentral-<version>\log

    The log files in this directory are only available if you analyze the code with ScanCentral SAST.

On Linux and macOS systems, the default Fortify log files are the following directories:

  • <userhome>/.fortify/sca<version>/log

    The log files in this directory are only available if you analyze the code locally with OpenText SAST.

  • <userhome>/.fortify/Eclipse.Plugin-<version>/log
  • <userhome>/.fortify/scancentral-<version>/log

    The log files in this directory are only available if you analyze the code with ScanCentral SAST.
