This tab specifies which log messages are saved for all profiles. It applies to profiles that do not have their own settings in the Profiles: Specific log settings tab.
Go to: Control Center > Logs > Log settings > Profile: Global log settings.
This is database-based logging. The messages appear, for example, in the log overview in the Control Center.
In addition, text files are sometimes generated. These are called trace files or client logs and contain connection details. They are located in subfolders of ./logs.
You can access these logs directly in the file system. Alternatively, use the Control Center (Logs > Server logs) or the Admin Console (Log monitor).
Settings
The tab is divided into three sections:
Select template: Loads a previously saved template. If a template is deleted, active logging settings remain unaffected.
Logging settings for Phases 1 to 6: The list of checkboxes in the main area. See the following section.
Save as new template: The button of the same name at the bottom of the list saves the current selection as a reusable template. Templates also work in the Profiles: Specific log settings tab.
Logging settings for Phases 1 to 6
Trace messages
If the checkbox is selected, the platform displays additional detailed messages for the corresponding phase.
"Trace messages" should not be confused with trace files. Trace files (also known as client logs) are separate log files. They are described below.
CAUTION
"Trace messages" generate large amounts of data. They slow down processing. Enable this option only during development or for targeted troubleshooting.
Phase 1 (Receive data)
If the checkbox is ticked, the information for Phase 1 of the profile will be logged.
FTP Log: Logs information for incoming FTP communication. Additional client logs (trace files) are stored in
./logs/FtpLog/client_<System.currentTimeMillis()>.log. If this option is enabled, Trace messages for Phase 1 may be omitted if necessary.Mail Log: Logs incoming e-mails. The platform receives these via the event controlled SMTP input agent or the scheduled Mail/X.400 input agent. Trace files are stored in
./logs/mail. These files also contain the received e-mails.OFTP Log: Logs information about incoming OFTP communication. Additional client logs are stored in
./logs/OftpLog/<System.currentTimeMillis()>_oftp.log.
Phase 2 (Parse)
If the checkbox is selected, the information for Phase 2 of the profile will be logged.
Records: Logs the creation of new data sets.
Unknown segments: Logs segments of an input file that are not included in the source tree due to the source structure. For further information, see Unknown Segment Log Listener.
