CLI

Procedure

In the data file specify Logger, AppenderRef, and Appender elements.

<Logger xsi:type="amxdata:Logger" name ="HelloWorldLogger" additivity="false">
 <AppenderRef xsi:type="amxdata:AppenderRef" effectivelevel="INFO">
	 <Appender xsi:type="amxdata_reference:LogAppender_reference" name="HelloWorldFileAppender/>
 </AppenderRef>
</Logger>

In the build file set the action attribute of the AMXAdminTask element to add or set and the objectSelector attribute to Path/Logger, where Path is the navigation path to the logger. For example, to set the logging configurations for all application loggers in a data file, action is set and objectSelector is Environment/Application/Logger:
```
<AMXAdminTask	action="set" objectSelector="Environment/Application/Logger"/>
```
Invoke the command-line interface on the build file.
