To help with troubleshooting or monitoring, you can turn on activity logging for the adapter.

These steps are optional.

For general information about logging, see Enabling debug messages and console logging in the PingFederate documentation.

Open the <pf_install>/pingfederate/server/default/conf/log4j2.xml file for editing.

If you want to log activity for PingFederate and all adapters, do the following.

Find the following section.

<AsyncRoot level="INFO" includeLocation="false">
	<!-- <AppenderRef ref="CONSOLE" /> -->
	<AppenderRef ref="FILE" />
</AsyncRoot>

Change INFO to DEBUG.

<AsyncRoot level="DEBUG" includeLocation="false">
	<!-- <AppenderRef ref="CONSOLE" /> -->
	<AppenderRef ref="FILE" />
</AsyncRoot>

If you want to see the adapter activity in the console, remove the comment tags.

<AsyncRoot level="INFO" includeLocation="false">
	<AppenderRef ref="CONSOLE" />
	<AppenderRef ref="FILE" />
</AsyncRoot>

If you want to log activity just for the LinkedIn IdP Adapter, add the following line.
```
<Logger name="com.pingidentity.adapter.idp.linkedin" level="DEBUG"/>
```
Save the file.
