Configuring legacy logging

To use the legacy logging framework, ensure that the legacy logging JAR is at lib/slf4j-binding.jar. Use the Logs.xml configuration file to configure the behavior of the Diffusion™ legacy logging.

Log messages created by the Diffusion server are filtered by the configuration in etc/Logs.xml .

You can configure the following aspects of logging:
  • The level of logging to the console
  • The level of logging to a file
  • The name and location of the file
  • Whether the log files rotate based on time or file size or both
  • The time interval to use to rotate the files
  • The file size to use to rotate the files
  • The number of old log files to keep
Warning: Logging can use considerable CPU resources. In a production environment, enable only significant log messages (INFO and above). Performance degrades significantly when running at finer logging levels as more messages are produced, each requiring processing.

Logging on the Diffusion server cannot be configured using the Server API. The LoggingConfig object is read-only.
