Step 4. Configuring the Logging Settings

Configure logging for the configuration automation tools in the automation log properties file,

log4j.properties

. You configure logging to be able to troubleshoot configuration issues.

Copy the

log4j.properties

file packaged in

MDMAutomation.jar

, which is in the

MDMAutomation.zip

file.

The

MDMAutomation.zip

file is in the following directory:

On UNIX.

<Resource Kit installation directory>/automation/Misc_Automation

On Windows.

<Resource Kit installation directory>\automation\Misc_Automation

Open the

log4j.properties

file from the location to which you copied the file.

To set the log level category in the

rootLogger

parameter.

The following table describes the log level categories:

Log Level Category	Description
INFO	Provides information about the success or failure of a configuration automation process. Set to INFO to get the success and failure indication. Default is INFO.
DEBUG	Provides detailed information for debugging a configuration automation process. It provides information such as the EJB that is called, connection details, and the names of temporary files. Set to DEBUG for the most detailed logging.
WARNING	Provides information about the success or failure of a configuration automation process including any related warnings. You can usually ignore warnings.
ERROR	Provides information about any errors that might cause the configuration automation process to fail. Set to ERROR to get the success and failure indication along with any reasons for failure.
FATAL	Provides information about errors in command usage that fail to run the configuration automation process. Set to FATAL to capture errors at the command usage level.

Edit the values for the log file properties.

The following table describes the log file properties:

Property Name	Description
File	Name of the log file. Default is MDMAutomation.log .
MaxFileSize	Maximum size of the log file after which the MDM Hub performs a log rolling procedure to archive the existing log information. The log file rolling prevents the MDM Hub from overwriting log files with new information. Default is 10 MB.
