The log output determines where messages are logged. The Infogix administrative console has several default log outputs, which vary by application server, but you can add your own. All new log outputs belong to the RollingFileAppender type.

The console includes the following default log outputs:

  • alarm
  • client
  • client-alarm
  • console
  • finding
  • iitap

Use this screen to add a new log output or to see the attributes for an existing log output. The system assigns default values for a new log output.

Complete the following fields, as applicable:

Name

Specify a name to describe the log output.
Important: After you save the log output, you cannot change its name.

Type

This field displays the appender type for this log output. Appenders determine whether log messages are sent to a file or to the console.

The other fields displayed on the screen depend on the type selected. RollingFileAppender is the type assigned to a new log output.

File Path

If applicable, specify the file path associated with this log output.

Maximum File Size

For log messages sent to a rolling file appender, specify the maximum size for the log file. When the file reaches the maximum size, the system creates a backup and begins a new file.

Maximum Backups

For log messages sent to a rolling file appender, specify the maximum number of backups for the log file. When the system exceeds the maximum number of backups, excess log files are deleted based on age.

Severity

The system displays the severity threshold. For a rolling file appender, you can select the severity threshold to apply for messages sent to this log output. For more information, see Severity Thresholds.

Line Format

The line format controls how the log messages are displayed.
Tip: Edit this field only if you are familiar with layouts for log files.
