Properties for configuring logging activity

Use properties to determine what type of information and how much is written to the broker, gateway, and target component log files.

LogLevel

The log level determines the types of entries and how much information is added to the log file. Default value is 2.

A two-column table that shows the LogLevel parameter values and definitions:
Logging level Description
0 No logging
1 Error
2 info
4 Debug information
Note: Use LOGLEVEL= 4 only by request from IBM software support.

LogRotation

Controls the period after which an older log file is overwritten. Log rotation can be disabled. Default value is Weekly.

A four-column table that shows the LogRotation parameter values and their definitions:
LogRotation Description Suffix for hourly rollover Suffix for daily rollover
Daily Overwrite log files after 1 day 00H to 23H Not valid
Weekly Overwrite log files after 1 week. Mon-00H to Sun-23H Mon - Sun
Monthly Overwrite log files after 1 month. 01-00H to 31-23H 01 - 31
Disabled LogRotation is disabled YYYY-MM-DD-hh YYYY-MM-DD
The suffix is used in the name of the component log file. For example, TRCICB-RCBROKER.example.com-Mon-14H.log.

LogRollover

Controls the period after which a new log file is started. This period must be shorter than the LogRotation period, therefore not all combinations are valid. LogRollover cannot be disabled. Default value is Daily.
LogRollover Description Comments
Hourly Start a new log file on the hour. Recommended if the log is written to frequently or when you use a log level higher than 2.
Daily Start a new log file every day. Default setting.
