Administration. Administrators use this portlet to configure My webMethods Server logging without restarting the My webMethods Server. From this portlet administrators can change the server-side logging categories and specify the threshold of the log messages that My webMethods Server is to log.
Logging Threshold Settings of the Logging Configuration Portlet
Administrators use these settings to specify how much information My webMethods Server logs. My webMethods Server logs messages at the level the administrator sets and all higher levels. The logging levels are:
Level | Description |
DEBUG | Indicates that the server is to log DEBUG messages and all other log levels. The server issues DEBUG messages at multiple points within a My webMethods Server event. Include DEBUG messages in the log when debugging problems. Note that the log files will grow quickly. |
INFO | Indicates that the server is to log INFO messages and all other log levels except DEBUG. The server issues INFO messages when a My webMethods Server event occurs. |
WARN | Indicates that the server is to log only WARN and FATAL messages. The server issues WARN messages when a non-fatal error occurs. |
FATAL | Indicates that the server it to only log FATAL messages. The server issues FATAL messages when a fatal error occurs. |
Configure the logging level for each of the two stages for which My webMethods Server collects logging messages.
Category is the first stage where
My webMethods Server collects messages. For each logging category, specify a logging level. When
My webMethods Server collects a log message, it sends the message to a specified category. If the level of the message meets or exceeds the logging level configured for the category threshold,
My webMethods Server sends the message to the logging outputs. If the message is at a level lower than the configured level for the category threshold,
My webMethods Server discards the message.
Output receives messages from the category stage. The
My webMethods Server forwards messages that meet a category threshold to valid outputs for the category. If the level of the message meets or exceeds the logging level configured for the output threshold,
My webMethods Server writes the message to the output. If the message is at a level lower than the configured level for the output threshold,
My webMethods Server discards the message.
A category threshold takes precedence over an output threshold; that is, a logging message that My webMethods Server discards for a category cannot be written to output.
