Logging settings

More information on logging settings can be found in the Administrator Guide section.  

The CMR comes with a Logback configuration file which is not very chatty by default. It is possible to change these settings by editing the logging-config.xml file located in the installation root. To log the service requests for example, one can change the log level of the service methods to trace or debug:

<!-- service logging, set this to 'debug' to get additional information about: - Number of timer objects being stored - information about the exception sensor - information about the combined metric sensor -->
<logger name="info.novatec.inspectit.cmr.service" level="trace" />

The above configuration would then print detailed information about the called service methods and the time it took for each request:

2014-04-14 14:57:20,588: 34757  [      btpool0-1] WARN  mr.service.ServerStatusService -     'Get Server Status' duration: 0.024402 ms

To get even more information about the other components of the CMR, the level of the rootlogger can be changed, too:

<!-- set log levels - for more verbose logging change 'info' to 'debug' -->
<root level="info">
 <appender-ref ref="stdout" />
 <appender-ref ref="file" />
 <appender-ref ref="exceptions" />
</root>
