Change the service log logging level

The CCMS Output Generator service stores logs about its execution in the %OutputGenDir%/logs/wrapper.log file.

CCMS Output Generator uses the standard log4j logging levels, in decreasing order of priority:

  • DEBUG
  • INFO
  • WARN
  • ERROR
  • FATAL

When the logging level is set to INFO (default), then the INFO, WARN, ERROR and FATAL level messages are logged and the rest are dropped.

To change theCCMS Output Generator service logging level, use the log4j.properties file in its configuration directory.
Note: You should only change the logging level if requested by IXIA CCMS Customer Support.

For more information about log4j properties, see the following URL:

http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/PropertyConfigurator.html

To change the service log logging level:

  1. Open the %OutputGenDir%/conf/log4j.properties file.
  2. Look for the log4j.logger.com.ixiasoft property.
    For example:
    log4j.logger.com.ixiasoft=INFO
  3. Set the log4j.logger.com.ixiasoft property to a logging level, such asWARN. 
    log4j.logger.com.ixiasoft=WARN
    Note: Only set the log4j.logger.com.ixiasoft property to DEBUG if requested by IXIA CCMS Customer Support, since it can impact performance.
  4. Restart CCMS Output Generator.
