Setting logging levels in the data collection infrastructure

To set the logging level preferences for the data collection infrastructure, do the following steps on the machine where the data collection infrastructure is installed:

  1. In the data collection infrastructure installation directory, open the RPALogger.properties file.
  2. Find the line containing com.ibm.rpa.logger.severity=level, where level is the current logging level.
  3. Modify the level value to one of the following settings:
    • ALL - logs all events
    • INFORMATION - logs all events
    • HARMLESS - logs all events except INFORMATION events
    • WARNING - logs all events except HARMLESS and INFORMATION events
    • MINOR - logs MINOR, CRITICAL, and FATAL events
    • CRITICAL - logs CRITICAL and FATAL events
    • FATAL - logs only FATAL events
    • DEBUG_MAX - logs all events (equivalent of ALL)
    • DEBUG_MID - logs events useful for debugging problems, at a medium-severity level
    • DEBUG_MIN - log only a minimal number of (high-severity) events, useful for debugging problems
  4. If you want to change the location of the log file that these events are logged to, find the line containing java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern.
  5. Modify the file pattern as desired. %h represents the data collection infrastructure installation directory. %g is a generation number to distinguish rotated logs. More information on the format for setting this value is available at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/logging/FileHandler.html.
  6. Save the RPALogger.properties file with the changes you have made.
  7. Restart the data collection infrastructure.
