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.

begins a new file.

number of backups for the log file. When the system exceeds the maximum number of backups,
excess log files are deleted based on age.

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