4.3.3 Understanding Log Levels
When you enable logging, Oracle Identity Governance 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 Governance 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 Governance 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 Table 4-1.
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_SERVER are the domain name and server name specified during the installation of Oracle Identity Governance.
