Setting Up a Log Level

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

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 User loggers area to specify the log level for a created plug-in:

   <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.palette_name.runtime">
      <level value="DEBUG"/>
   </logger>

   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 the User loggers area to specify the log level for an activity:

   <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.palette_name.runtime.ActivityName_ActivityType_Activity">
      <level value="DEBUG"/>
   </logger>

   Note: If the activity that you want to add a log level for is an event source activity, add the following node:

   <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.palette_name.runtime.ActivityName_ActivityType">
      <level value="DEBUG"/>
   </logger>

   For example, if you want to set the log level of the SayHello activity to Debug, add the following node:

   <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.HelloWorld.runtime.SayHelloAsynchronousActivity">
      <level value="DEBUG"/>
   </logger>

   Note: If you do not configure a specific log level for an activity, the activity applies the log levels that you configured for the plug-in.
4. Save the file.
