How to adjust logging level for the Information Management Platform

SYMPTOMS

During troubleshooting of the Information Management Platform, logging levels may need to be temporarily or permanently modified to capture additional or less information.

CAUSE

Not applicable

RESOLUTION

Each component (ZyINDEX, ZySCAN, ZyFIND, ZyTIMER, etc) has it's own logging configuration file. The configuration files names begin with the component name then continue with '.logger.config' and are located in the '\Program Files (x86)\ZyLAB\Information Management Platform\Bin' folder by default.   Edit the level value set in the <root> section of the '.logger.config' file that corresponds to the component you are working with.

Logging level descriptions:

• DEBUG designates fine-grained informational events that are most useful to debug an application.
• INFO designates informational messages that highlight the progress of the application at coarse-grained level.
• WARN designates potentially harmful situations.
• ERROR designates error events that might still allow the application to continue running.
• FATAL designates very severe error events that will presumably lead the application to abort.
• ALL has the lowest possible rank and is intended to turn on all logging.
• OFF has the highest possible rank and is intended to turn off logging.

All:
Trace: YES, Debug: YES, Info: YES, Warn: YES, Error: YES, Fatal: YES, Off: NO

No restart of services is required.

Note: Log files size growth, and disk storage space usage, varies depending on the logging level set.
