Log Message Format

A logged message consists of a time stamp, a message code, and the message itself. The volume of information included varies with the logging level you have set. The broker supports three logging levels: ERROR, WARNING , and INFO (see Table 12–2). Each level includes those above it (for example, WARNING includes ERROR).

Table 12–2 Logging Levels


Logging Level	Description
`ERROR`	Serious problems that could cause system failure
`WARNING`	Conditions that should be heeded but will not cause system failure
`INFO`	Metrics and other informational messages

The default logging level is INFO, so messages at all three levels are logged by default. The following is an example of an INFO message:

   [13/Sep/2000:16:13:36 PDT] [B1004]: Starting the broker service
   using tcp [25374,100] with min threads 50 and max threads of 500

You can change the time zone used in the time stamp by setting the broker configuration property imq.log.timezone (see Table 16–10).
