Configuration

The connector configuration for the Log Connector will display the form associated with the selected logger component. You can use the parameters provided here to configure the Log Connector.

Select Logger
The "Select Logger" function in the configuration screen lets you choose a predefined configuration from the installed log components folder. This configuration is copied into the connector configuration for use with the actual logger instantiation. Available categories and choices are:
Apache Log4J loggers

This is the traditional and most feature-rich category.

Available Apache Log4J loggers are:

  • ConsoleAppender
  • CustomAppender
  • DailyRollingFileAppender
  • FileAppender
  • NTEventLog
  • FileRollerAppender
  • SystemLogAppender
  • SyslogAppender
Java™ Util loggers
  • Category based configuration
  • FileHandler (java.util.logging)
JLOG loggers
  • Category based configuration
  • FileHandler (com.ibm.log.FileHandler)

An alternative to define loggers is to use the built-in logging feature and a LogConfigItem configuration object. This method bypasses Log4J's lookup in the log4j.properties file; see Creating additional Loggers for more information.
