Details

Handlers specify where log messages are sent. Console handlers send log messages to the Java console and File handlers specify logging to a file.

Solution

Add the following entries to your logging.properties file if they do not exist.
handlers=org.apache.juli.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
Ensure logging is not off and set the logging level to the desired level such as:
org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level=FINEST
