Logging Level
Logging Level
The logging level specifies which types of messages are logged by the Adapter:
To specify which message types are logged, from the Logging Level menu on the
Logging tab, select the appropriate option:
•
Internal messages only
•
Critical and internal messages
•
Critical, error, and internal messages
•
Critical, error, warning, and internal messages
•
All messages
Log File Name
You can define the name and location of the log file used by the Adapter. By default,
this file is Zlog.html, located in the same directory as the Adapter program file.
However, you can change the location, file name, or both by entering a new value in
the Log File box on the Logging tab. To locate and select the file interactively, click
Browse….
Deleting the Log File
If you run with logging enabled, the log file can grow large over a long period of time.
Although you can manually delete this file, the Adapter can also automatically delete
the file whenever it is closed (for example, if you change the log file name or shut down
the Adapter). This approach gives you access to the log data while the Adapter is
running but helps prevent the log file itself from growing too large.
To automatically delete log files whenever they are closed, select the Delete Log File
When Closed check box on the Logging tab. To retain all log data, clear the check box.
By default, all data is retained.
Message
Type Description
Internal Internal messages are generated from within the logging facility itself. If
logging is enabled, internal messages are automatically enabled as well.
Critical Critical messages are generated if the Adapter encounters a problem that it
cannot recover from or that will prevent it from functioning correctly.
Error Error messages are generated if the Adapter encounters a problem from
which it can recover and continue to run, but potentially in degraded fashion.
Warning Warning messages are generated if the Adapter encounters a problem from
which it can recover and continue to run normally.
Info Info messages are generated to provide status information on operations
performed by the Adapter.
