Customize Logging

You can customize logging by setting up your own log streams. Each log stream creates a separate log file in which specific types of message are logged.

CFS supports the following log message types:

Action Logs actions and related messages.
Application Logs application-related messages.
Import Logs information about the import process. Using FULL logging for the import log stream can reduce performance.
Indexer Logs the status of indexing into IDOL.

To set up log streams

  1. Open the CFS configuration file in a text editor.
  2. Find the [Logging] section. If the configuration file does not contain a [Logging] section, create it.
  3. In the [Logging] section, create a list of the log streams you want to set up using the format N=LogStreamName. List the log streams in consecutive order, starting from 0 (zero). For example:

    [Logging]
    LogDirectory=logs
    0=ApplicationLogStream
    1=ActionLogStream
  4. Create a new section for each of the log streams you defined. Each section must have the same name as the log stream. For example:

    [ApplicationLogStream]
    [ActionLogStream]
  5. Specify the settings for each log stream in the appropriate section. You can specify the type of logging to perform (for example, full logging), the maximum size of log files, and so on. For example:

    [ApplicationLogStream]
    logfile=application.log
    logtypecsvs=application
    loglevel=full
    loghistorysize=50
    logtime=true
    logecho=false
    logmaxsizekbs=1024
    
    [ActionLogStream]
    logfile=logs/action.log
    logtypecsvs=action
    loglevel=full
    loghistorysize=50
    logtime=true
    logecho=false
    logmaxsizekbs=1024
  6. Save and close the configuration file.
  7. Restart CFS for your changes to take effect. For information about how to start and stop CFS, see Start and Stop Connector Framework Server.
