Overview of loggers

As mentioned in Verification of integration, the logging configuration for Asset Picker is available in the log4j.xml and log4j2.xml files, placed in the AssetPicker/conf/logging folder within Platform home.

The log4j.xml file is used for the loggers originating from Platform’s unica_common.jar and unica_helper.jar. Whereas, log4j2.xml is used for the loggers originating from everywhere else in Asset Picker.

The default log level is set to WARN in both cases, which should be sufficient for the troubleshooting needs for plugin development. Most of the loggers, produced by the Asset Picker at INFO & DEBUG level, are not extremely relevant for plugin development & integration. The following topics elaborate only the relevant loggers. These loggers are already present in log4j2.xml file and need to be uncommented, if required. Please ensure that log level is never set to DEBUG or TRACE for these loggers in production since they can generate sensitive information.
