You can change the default logging configuration of the Endeca CAS
Service and any CAS components you run from the command line.
Log location and rolling
By default, the logging utilities write logs to the
<install
path>\CAS\workspace\logs directory.
By default, the CAS Service log rolls once it exceeds a size of 100MB,
and the CAS Service keeps 10 backups of its log.
Note: If you delete the log file, the Endeca CAS Service recreates the
log only when you restart the service. So it is possible to delete the log, run
a crawl, and not have logging information if you did not restart the service.
Configuration files for CAS components
The
<install
path>\CAS\workspace\conf directory contains the
following logging configuration files:
- cas-cmd.log4j.properties
- configures logging for the CAS Server Command-line Utility
- cas-service-log4j.properties
- configures logging for the Endeca CAS Service
- component-manager-cmd.log4j.properties
- configures logging for the Component Instance Manager Command-line Utility
- recordstore-cmd.log4j.properties
- configures logging for the Record Store Command-line Utility
Logging options and levels
You can re-configure log locations, log file size, log pattern, and
logging message level such as:
- DEBUG
designates fine-grained informational events that are most useful to debug
Record Store problems.
- INFO designates
informational messages that highlight the progress of Record Store operations
at a coarse-grained level.
- WARN designates
potentially harmful situations.
- ERROR
designates error events that might still allow the Record Store to continue
running.
- FATAL
designates very severe error events that will presumably lead the Record Store
to abort.
- OFF
has the highest possible rank and is intended to turn off logging.
These levels allow you to monitor events of interest at the
appropriate granularity. When you are initially setting up your Record Store
implementation, you might want to use the
DEBUG level to get all messages, and change to a
less verbose level in production.
