The Logging Utilities includes three log message receivers that allow for a wide variety of logging solutions. As components of the OpenLog Framework, log message receivers act to display or store log messages generated by log message senders, such as the portal, Collaboration, or Publisher. This chapter describes the three components that comprise the Logging Utilities.
Logging Spy (previously called PTSpy) is the primary log message receiver for the OpenLog Framework. In addition to displaying log messages from the portal and other AquaLogic User Interaction products and services, Logging Spy provides features including fine-grained filtering, viewing of saved log files, highlighting of errors, and the searching and sorting of log messages.
For more information on running Logging Spy, see Logging Spy
Logger runs as an unattended background process that receives log messages from the OpenLog Framework and writes the messages to the file system. In addition to this primary use, the Logger can be configured to output in other ways, such as sending log messages to an e-mail system.

The Console Logger runs in a console window, outputting log messages to the console standard output. The Console Logger has limited use; in most cases, it is preferable to use Logging Spy.
