Setting Up Log Levels

You can configure different log levels for the plug-in and plug-in activities to trace different messages. By default, the plug-in uses the log level configured for TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks. The default log level of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks is Error.

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 are 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>\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.cassandra.runtime">
       <level value="DEBUG"/>
    </logger>

    The level tag defines the log level and the value of the level element can be Trace, Info, 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.
  3. Optional: Add the following node in Console Appender area to specify the log level for an activity:
    <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.cassandra.runtime.ActivityNameActivity">
       <level value="DEBUG"/>
    </logger>
    See the following examples:
    • If you want to set the log level of the Update activity to Debug, you must add the following node:
      <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.cassandra.runtime.UpdateAsynchronousActivity">
         <level value="DEBUG"/>
      </logger>
    • If you want to set the log level of the Query activity to Debug, you must add the following node:
      <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.cassandra.runtime.QueryAsynchronousActivity">
         <level value="DEBUG"/>
      </logger>
    • If you want to set the log level of the GetCassandraConnection activity to Debug, you must add the following node:
      <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.cassandra.runtime.GetCassandraConnectionActivity">
         <level value="DEBUG"/>
      </logger>
    Note: For the activities that do not configure with specific log levels, they still inherit log level configured for the plug-in or BusinessWorks.
  4. Save the file.
