Logging to a Debugging Monitor and a File

In this example, all SEVERE (error) messages are logged to the debugging monitor and WARNINGS to the file in C:\websdk\logs\warnings.txt. Add the following code in the custom logger.properties file.

# Instruct the Root Logger to accept log messages

# of logging level SEVERE or higher.

level= SEVERE

# Define an alias for two handler objects. handler1 will send errors

# to the Debugging monitor while handler2 will send warnings to a file.

handlers=handler1, handler 2

# Define the first handler as DebugMonitorHandler so the logger object

# passes the log records to a system console.

handler1.class =com.microstrategy.utils.log.DebugMonitorHandler

# Instruct the DebugMonitorHandler to accept log messages

# of logging level SEVERE or higher

handler1.level=SEVERE

# Format the log messages using the formatter called XMLFormatterEx.

handler1.formatter= com.microstrategy.web.app.XMLFormatterEx

# Configure the second handler by defining the handler

# as DatedFileHandler so the logger object

# passes the log records to a file.

Handler2.class =com.microstrategy.utils.log.DatedFileHandler

# Instruct the DatedFileHandler to accept log messages

# of logging level WARNING or higher

Handler2.level=WARNING

# Format the log messages using the formatter called XMLFormatterEx.

Handler2.formatter=com.microstrategy.web.app.XMLFormatterEx

# Indicate the destination for the resulting messages.
