Setting up Log Levels

You can configure different log levels for the plug-in and plug-in activities 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 BusinessWorks Palette and Activity logger area to specify a log level for the plug-in:

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

   The value of the level element can be Trace, Debug, Info, or Error.

   Note: If you set the log level 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 one of the following nodes in the BusinessWorks Palette and Activity loggers’ area to control a log level for the activity.
   • For example, to control the debug log level for the Kafka Sendmessage activity, set the following parameters:

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

   • For example, to control the debug log level for the Kafka ReceiveMessage activity, set the following parameters:

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

   • For example, to control the debug log level for the Kafka Shared resource, set the following parameters:

     <logger name="com.tibco.bw.sharedresource.kafka.runtime">
     <level value="DEBUG"/>
     </logger>

     Note: The activities that are not configured with specific log levels use the log level configured for the plug-in.
4. Save the file.
