Working With Adapter Logs

Adapter logs capture information about the adapter that is currently processing. You can use this information to monitor the adapter’s progress and to diagnose and debug adapter problems.

You must enable tracing and identify the methods for which tracing is requested before any logging can occur. Also, your customized adapter must include calls that create log entries for new methods.

Nearly every adapter has its own log file, path, and log level. You can specify the level of detail captured by the adapter log, along with these other values in the Logging section of the Synchronization Policy for the appropriate Identity Manager or Service Provider user type.
