4.3.1 Understanding Log Levels

When you enable logging, Oracle Identity Manager automatically stores in a log file information about events that occur during the course of provisioning and reconciliation operations. ODL is the principle logging service used by Oracle Identity Manager and is based on java.util.Logger. To specify the type of event for which you want logging to take place, you can set the log level to one of the following:

• SEVERE.intValue()+100

  This level enables logging of information about fatal errors.

• SEVERE

  This level enables logging of information about errors that might allow Oracle Identity Manager to continue running.

• WARNING

  This level enables logging of information about potentially harmful situations.

• INFO

  This level enables logging of messages that highlight the progress of the application.

• CONFIG

  This level enables logging of information about fine-grained events that are useful for debugging.

• FINE, FINER, FINEST

  These levels enable logging of information about fine-grained events, where FINEST logs information about all events.

These message types are mapped to ODL message type and level combinations as shown in the below table.

Table 4-1 Log Levels and ODL Message Type:Level Combinations

Java Level	ODL Message Type:Level
SEVERE.intValue()+100	INCIDENT_ERROR:1
SEVERE	ERROR:1
WARNING	WARNING:1
INFO	NOTIFICATION:1
CONFIG	NOTIFICATION:16
FINE	TRACE:1
FINER	TRACE:16
FINEST	TRACE:32

The configuration file for OJDL is logging.xml, which is located at the following path: DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/OIM_SERVER/logging.xml

Here, DOMAIN_HOME and OIM_SEVER are the domain name and server name specified during the installation of Oracle Identity Manager.
