Logging

In the Logging screen, you can:

• View the loggers that monitor the console operations.
• Add new loggers.
• Configure the number of days to retain a log.
• Change the logging level for a logger.

The following logger details are available:

• The name of the logger, for example com.mdscem.cmp Converged Monetisation Platform. The MDS Global product that supports customer care and billing for digital service providers..framework.probe In the Administration Console architecture, a mechanism which allows for the execution of predefined queries and for the comparison of the results of those queries against pre-configured targets. Probes can be reviewed and managed via the Admin Console..ProbeResultEvaluator.
• The logging levels, which can be:
  • OFF

    Do not log anything at all.

  • INFO

    INFO messages correspond to normal application behaviour and milestones, such as a service starting or stopping. This level of information is typically used to help run and manage the system.

  • DEBUG

    Granular information to help with diagnosis of problems and troubleshooting. DEBUG messages and information are used by system administrators and developers.

  • TRACE

    Very fine-grained information - even more granular than DEBUG. Use the TRACE level when you need to capture every detail you can about the application's behaviour. This level produces a great deal of a data that can overwhelm the system's resources in production, so should be used with caution.

  • WARN

    Use the WARN log level to indicate that there might have a problem and that you've detected an unusual situation. This level is often used for handled exceptions and important log events. Warning should be investigated.

  • ERROR

    An error is a serious issue and represents the failure of something important in the application. ERROR is used to log all unhandled exceptions.

  • FATAL

    FATAL represents a very serious situation that can cause the application to abort to prevent data loss, corruption or some other serious problem. Fatal is usually reserved for special exceptions/conditions where it is imperative that you can quickly pick out these events.
