Setting Up Log Levels

By default, the log level is Error . You can use the plug-in to 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 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

Navigate to the TIBCO_HOME/bw/version_number/config/design/logback directory and open the logback.xml file.
Add the following node in the User loggers area to specify the log level for the plug-in.
```
<logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.bwpluginejb.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.
Optional: Add the following node in User loggers area to specify the log level for an activity.
```
<logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.bwpluginejb.runtime.ActivityNameActivity">
   <level value="DEBUG"/>
</logger>
```
For example, if you want to set the log level of the EJB2Home activity to Debug, add the following node:
```
<logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.bwpluginejb.runtime.EJBHomeActivity">
   <level value="DEBUG"/>
</logger>
```
Note: The activities that do not configure with specific log levels, still inherit log level configured for the plug-in or BusinessWorks.
Save the file.
