Configuring Compass core logging and tracing

This section describes how to configure logging and tracing for Compass core.

Each Compass component maintains separate error and message log files. Compass core uses the TSlogger logging and tracing package to log errors and messages, and maintains a separate properties file, tslogger.properties, to configure this utility.

Log files are created on the computer where the Compass software is installed. The log files capture a running history of fatal errors, errors, warnings, and optionally, informational messages. Use these log files to diagnose and troubleshoot known or potential issues.
