Setting Up Log Levels

By default, the log level is Error . You can change the log level to trace different messages.

Note: If neither the plug-in log nor the BusinessWorks log is configured in the logback.xml file, the error logs of the plug-in is displayed in the Console view by default.

If the plug-in log is not configured but the BusinessWorks log is configured in the logback.xml file, the configuration for the BusinessWorks log is implemented by the plug-in.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the TIBCO_HOME\bw\version_number\config\design\logback directory and open the logback.xml file.
  2. Add the following node in the Console Appender area to specify the log level for the plug-in. 
    <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.bwmq.runtime">
   <level value="DEBUG"/>
</logger>

    The level tag defines the log level and the value is Error or Debug.

    Note: When the level is set to Debug, the input and output for the plug-in activities are also displayed in the Console view. See Log Levels for more details regarding each log level.
  3. Optional: Add the following node in Console Appender area to specify the log level for an activity. 
    <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.bwmq.runtime.ActivityNameActivity">
   <level value="DEBUG"/>
</logger>
    For example, if you want to set the log level of the Put activity to Debug, you are required to add the following node: 
    <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.bwmq.runtime.PutActivity">
   <level value="DEBUG"/>
</logger>
    Note: For the activities that do not configure with specific log levels, they still inherit the log level configured for the plug-in or BusinessWorks.
  4. Save the file.
