Maybe you should tell us more about what is the source of the "exception".
Sounds like java terminology...
Actually we are given a security checklist by our customer where we have to show them our application server's Activity log,Exception log. Actually I'm a newbie so i really couldn't understand what kind of details you want to know. If U could specify more then I think i can make it clear to U.
Tell us more about this "application server". The more the better.
Security Checklists in the hands of self-admitted "newbies"... what does your supervisor say?
and please spell out whole words.
As hinted by Habitual, if you look in /var/log, you'll see many logfiles and some dirs as well.
In short, many/most programs have their own logfiles (sometimes >1 eg apache has access and error logs).
There is also the default /var/log/messages file for programs that don't have private ones.
You really need to know which program you are talking about before we can help.
