Setting Logging Parameters

You can set the logging using following properties:

• Log_Level: Set the level of logging that will be performed by the client.

  Valid values: (values are not case-sensitive)

  • NONE - Disables client logging. It is recommended that you do not disable logging.

  • ERROR - Logs the error messages only. For example, if you want that only error messages are logged, set Log_Level=ERROR.

  • WARN - Logs the error messages and warnings. This is the default log level.

  • INFO - Logs the error messages, warnings, and informational messages. This level generates a very large number of entries and is usually reserved for debugging. For example, if you want that error messages, warnings, and informational messages are logged, set Log_Level=INFO.

  • DEBUG - Logs the diagnostic information.

  • Note: To run your client application, you must have permission to write to the log file and to create new files in the directory where the log files are created.

  Example:

  Log_Level=MEDIUM
  

• Log_File: Specify the name and path to the log file. The path can be absolute or relative to your application. Default value is LogFile.txt.

  Example:

  Log_File=LogFile.txt
  

• Log_Rotation: Specify how frequently the log file will be rotated.
  Valid values:
  • Daily- Rotates the log file daily. This is the default value.
  • Size- Rotates the log file when it reaches the size specified in the Log_Size_Limit parameter.

  Example:

  Log_Rotation=Daily
  

• Log_Size_Limit: Specify how large the log file can be before it is rotated. This value is only used when <Log_Rotation>Size</Log_Rotation> is set. The default unit is bytes. You can use the suffix k (or K) for kilobytes and m (or M) for megabytes. Default value is 100k.

  Example:

  Log_Size_Limit=100k
  

The user running the client application must have permission to write to the log file and to create new files in the directory where the log files are created.
