Configuring IDK Logging
To enable and configure IDK logging, first determine how
the IDK is deployed.
IDK logging is disabled by default. If logging is enabled,
it is sent only to the local machine by default, requiring direct
access to the machine to view the logs. These default settings were
chosen to secure potentially sensitive information present in log
messages.
- If the IDK is deployed as a web application to support
Integration Service implementations, edit the distributed web application
configuration file (web.xml or Web.config). For details, see Configuring Java IDK Logging (web.xml) or Configuring .NET IDK Logging (Web.config)
- If the IDK is deployed as a library supporting
a web application (for example, a portlet), copy and paste the configuration
parameters from the IDK's distributed web.xml/Web.config into your
web application configuration file. For details, see Configuring Java IDK Logging (web.xml) or Configuring .NET IDK Logging (Web.config).
- If the IDK is deployed as a stand-alone application outside a web application context, such as report-generating or
data loading and dumping applications using the PRC, use programmatic
configuration to initialize logging parameters. Programmatic logging
configuration can be done at startup, or by using a static initialization
call on a façade class that the Web application runtime code uses
to obtain IDK logging components or logger instances. For details,
see About the IDK Logging API.
To use the IDK Logging API, you must configure the logging
receiver to read logs from the IDK. To configure the log receiver,
you must know the logging application name. The IDK logging application
name is configured in the web application configuration file or set
via the initialize() method in the
IDK Logging API.
- Configuring Java IDK Logging (web.xml)For web services using the Java IDK, the web.xml file is the standard way to configure log instrumentation.
- Configuring .NET IDK Logging (Web.config)If you are running the .NET IDK as a web application that hosts web services (that do not use the logging API), the Web.config file is the best way to configure log instrumentation.
- IDK Logging LevelsThis page summarizes logging levels and their implementation in IDK logging.
- IDK Logging API Web Application VariablesTo enable IDK logging, you must enter the application name and change the settings in the web.xml (Java) or Web.config (.NET) file distributed with the IDK. This page lists the applicable variables.
