Using the Control Panel to adjust logging verbosity

For debugging purposes in a development environment, you can use the Control Panel to dynamically adjust logging verbosity levels for any class hierarchy.

Note: When you adjust the logging verbosity, it is updated for both log4j and the Java Utility Logging Implementation (JULI). Code using either of these loggers should respect this configuration.

To adjust logging verbosity from the Control Panel:

  1. From the Studio menu, choose Control Panel.
  2. From the Control Panel menu, choose Server Administration.
  3. In the Server Administration page, click the Log Levels tab.
    Update Categories tab of the Log Levels tab of the Server Administration page
  4. On the Update Categories tab, locate the class hierarchy you want to modify.
  5. From the logging level drop-down list, select the logging level.
    Note: When you modify a class hierarchy, all classes that fall under that class hierarchy also are changed.
  6. When you have finished adjusting log levels, click Save.

You also can use the Add Category tab to set the verbosity for a specific class or package.
