Log Sinks and Roles

The adapter supports the file sink, the standard I/O sink, the network sink and the hawk sink. Each sink has the debug, error, information and warning roles.

Supported Log Sinks

The adapter supports the following log sinks at run time:
  • File sink

    A file sink sends messages to a file.

  • Standard I/O sink

    A standard I/O sink (stdioSink) sends messages to standard I/O.

  • Network sink

    A network sink sends messages over the network.

  • Hawk sink

    A hawk sink sends messages to TIBCO Hawk.

Supported Log Roles

For a selected log sink, you can add one or more log roles that decide the log levels of the log sink. The following list describes the available log roles:
  • Debug
  • Error
  • Information
  • Warning

The generated logging messages depend on the roles you add to the log sink.

Note: Turning on the log role level affects the performance of the adapter. It is good practice to turn on the required levels only. By default, the Info, Warning, and Error levels are enabled, and the Debug level is disabled. Do not enable the Debug level unless you are requested by the TIBCO Product Support group. This option writes a great deal of debugging information to the log file, and thus reduces the speed of the adapter.
