A.5.2 Logging Location Property Values

The log.category.<CATEGORY_NAME>.location property enables you to specify the location of a message for a specific category. If you do not specify a location value, the system logs messages in a default location.

The following table identifies the valid values for this property.

Table A-2 LoggingLocation Property Values

PropertyValue LogLocation
console Records the logs to the system.out or system.err file.
syslog Records the logs to a remote UNIX syslog daemon. This is the default location.
eventviewer Records the logs to the Event Log system.
mantaslog

Indicates the format of the mantaslog filename as

job<job#>-datetimestamp (if running the algorithms). For other subsystems, the format is mantaslog-datetimestamp. The file resides at the location that the log.mantaslog.locationpropertyspecifies in the appropriate install.cfgfile. If this property is unspecified, the system outputs logs to the console.

<path>/

<filename>

Records the logs to a file with the filename <filename>, which resides at <path>. For example, log.message.library=/user/jsmith/message/messages.dat
<name@address> Records the logs in a message to the e-mail address indicated by <name@address>.

Note that category names (that is, property values) cannot contain the following reserved words: fatal, warning, notice, diagnostic, trace, category, or location. You can configure multiple locations for each property using a comma delimiter.

For example:

log.category.TEST_CATEGORY.location=console, mantaslog log.category.TEST_CATEGORY_2.location=console, /users/jsmith/logs/mylog.log
