1.3.16.1. Global logging system

The global Logging System is available for all applications, libraries and scripts.

The Logging settings [Log settings] dialog is part of the Settings dialog page, which you can open from PARTdataManager, PARTadmin and eCATALOG 3Dfindit modules via Extras menu → Settings [Preferences]. Here you can set the log level.

Logging settings [Log settings]

Output of logging data:

The logging data is output in the log window [Log window] of the respective module.
You can optionally make the log window [Log window] visible via the context menu of the toolbars (default = off).

Example PARTdataManager: Log window
- Opens the Logging settings [Log settings] dialog page.
- Opens Windows Explorer to save the log messages to a file.
- Delete the contents of the log window.
The Output of the logging data is done in the output file under C:\Users\benutzername\AppData\Local\Temp\psol_logs. ^[4]

$$CADEAS_USER\logs\cadenas_error.logLog file$
$CADEAS_USER\logs\cadenas_error.log

Global logging setting [Global logging settings] → Standard log level (Applies to all categories without a special log level) [Standard log level (true for all categories without specialized loglevel)]

To change the log level for all logger categories together, select the desired list item in the list field:

Logs are generated that are larger or equal to the set log level.

Valid is: TRACE < DEBUG < INFO < WARN < ERROR < FATAL

Important

The performance may become worse if you globally set the log level to "TRACE" for all modules or root categories "cadenas", for example.

"TRACE" causes every procedure to create a notification. Therefore, you should only use "TRACE" for individual subcategories.

Logger category
Under Logger category you can see the hierarchy of the individual categories starting from the root element "cadenas" down to individual applications, libraries and scripts.

Note
Only elements, which are currently loaded, are shown in the tree.
Specialized log level [specialized log level] and effective log level [Effective log level]
If "OFF " is selected for Specialized log level [specialized log level], the value set under Global logging settings -> Standard log level (applies to all categories without a special log level) [Standard log level (true for all categories without specialized loglevel)] is displayed under Effective log level.
If an individual setting is made for a specific logger category [Logger category], this is displayed under Effective log level.
To determine an individual log level, click on the displayed value under Specialized log level [specialized log level], open the selection list and click on the desired value.

If the delivery status is changed, the following file is created under $CADENAS_USER the file log4cxx.properties. Changes to this file should only be made in consultation with CADENAS Consultants.^[5]

^[4]An excessive growth of log messages is prevented by an automatic deletion mechanism.

^[5]The logging system is based on Apache log4cxx. Detailed information on configuration options for log4cxx.properties can be found at http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/index.html.
