Logging

Since connector is part of the Aurea CRM server family, logging is now configured as in all other server products via settings.xml.

Note: See the WIKI articles:

for further information.

Example log configuration

<Logging>
<!-- logLevel - possible values are: NoLogging, Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Info, Debug -->
      <Channel  logLevel="Warning" 
                writerName="ConnectorfileLogWriter" 
                formatterName="Default"/>
<!-- rollingMode - possible values are: Date (when date changes), Size (when exceeding defined size), Startup (on every startup). Values can be combined, e.g. "Size,Startup" means when exceeding the size and on every restart of connector -->
      <Writer   filePath="log\connector.log"
                name="ConnectorfileLogWriter"
                maxSizeKB="50000"
                rollingMode="Size,Startup"
                compressBackup="true"
                maxBackups="50"
  includeDateInBackupFileName="true"
                closeOnIdleTimeout="5"
                type="update.Lib.Logging.Writers.FileLogWriter,update.Lib"/>
      <Formatter name="Default" 
                logDate="true" 
                logTicks="true" 
                logFacility="true" 
                logLevelFormat="Name" 
                logException="true" 
                logMemory="True" logCpu="True" 
                type="update.Lib.Logging.Formatters.DefaultLogFormatter,update.Lib" />
</Logging>

In the example configuration above, the logLevel="Warning" and the log file size is limited to 50MB (maxSizeKB="50000"); after exceeding this limit or when connector is restarted the log file is packed into a GZ archive (rollingMode="Size,Startup", compressBackup="true") and a new log file is created. A maximum of 10 log archives are kept (maxBackups="50").

Enhanced Logging to monitor connector synchronization

You can monitor connector synchronization activities by using the performance log configuration in the settings.xml file.

The synchronization activities can be logged in a separate file. Detailed information about activity types like email, appointment, contact, task, absences are captured in this file. Including the minimum, maximum, average, and total time taken along with the number of items synchronized. The following screenshot shows a sample performance log file.

The following sample shows the configuration set up to generate the performance log:

<Logging>

    <Channel facilityFilter="performance"
        logLevel="Debug"
        logLevelDebug="Debug"
        writerName="fileLogWriter2"
        formatterName="webLogFormatter2"
    />

    <Writer filePath="log\performance.log"
        name="fileLogWriter2"
        maxSizeKB="8192"
        closeOnIdleTimeout="5"
        type="update.Lib.Logging.Writers.FileLogWriter,update.Lib" />

    <Formatter name="webLogFormatter2"
        logDate="true"
        logTicks="false"
        logFacility="false"
        logLevelFormat="None"
        logException="false"
        logMemory="false"
        type="update.Lib.Logging.Formatters.WebLogFormatter,update.Lib" />

    ...
</Logging>
