Threshold for Logging

Where to find it

• Manager > Administration > Server Settings menu > Logging category > Threshold for Logging setting

Purpose

This setting determines the level at which messages are logged to the log files. The options available are:

1. Off: Nothing is logged
2. Information: All events are logged
3. Warning: Mistakes that could cause data errors but are not critical malfunctions of functions or objects are logged
4. Error: All failures of behaviors or functions are logged
5. Fatal: Only errors causing Manager to fail are logged

Note that in a reversal of common convention, each ascending level of logging includes all of the categories above it (so the lowest level of logging (Information) will also result in Warning, Error, and Fatal levels being logged).

Use

For cloud implementations, this property is set to Information and cannot be changed by the customer.

Log files are written to the Manager server. For on-prem installations (on Tomcat) they can be found at:

%ProgramFiles%\Apache Software Foundation\<your Tomcat version>\logs\

For cloud implementations, you will need to contact SAP for access.

Log files are saved as .glf files, and can be viewed via the SAP Log Viewer or via any text editor.
