Configuring log levels
Define log levels for specific package or class names in the log4j2.xml
file to get more or less detailed logging from a class or group of classes.
About this task
Class or package loggers are defined in the <AsyncLogger>
name
attribute. For example, the following line enables cookie logging:
<AsyncLogger name="com.pingidentity.pa.core.interceptor.CookieLoggingInterceptor" level="TRACE" additivity="false" includeLocation="false"> <AppenderRef ref="File"/> </AsyncLogger>
If you don’t specify a log level for a particular package or class, it inherits the settings for the root logger. |
For information on how to configure log levels in the administrative console instead, see Log settings.
