Change the logging level for the Output Generator service logs

The Output Generator service stores logs about its execution in the %OutputGenDir%/logs/wrapper.log file.

The Output Generator uses the standard log4j logging, which provides the following log levels, in decreasing order of priority:

  • DEBUG
  • INFO
  • WARN
  • ERROR
  • FATAL

When the logging level is set to INFO (default), then the INFO, WARN, ERROR and FATAL level messages will be logged and the rest will be dropped.

To change the logging level of the Output Generator service, use the log4j.properties file in the Output Generator's configuration directory.
Note: You should only change the logging level if requested by IXIASOFT.

For more information about log4j properties, see the following URL:

http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/PropertyConfigurator.html

To change the logging level:

  1. Open the %OutputGenDir%/conf/log4j.properties file.
  2. Look for the log4j.logger.com.ixiasoft property.
    For example:
    log4j.logger.com.ixiasoft=INFO
  3. Set the log4j.logger.com.ixiasoft property to the logging level required. For example: 
    log4j.logger.com.ixiasoft=WARN
    Note: Only set the log4j.logger.com.ixiasoft property to DEBUG if requested by IXIASOFT, since it may have an impact on performance.
  4. Restart the Output Generator.
