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

  1. Open the <pf_install>/pingfederate/server/default/conf/log4j2.xml file for editing.
  2. If you want to log activity for PingFederate and all adapters, do the following.
    1. Find the following section. 
      <AsyncRoot level="INFO" includeLocation="false">
	<!-- <AppenderRef ref="CONSOLE" /> -->
	<AppenderRef ref="FILE" />
</AsyncRoot>
    2. Change INFO to DEBUG. 
      <AsyncRoot level="DEBUG" includeLocation="false">
	<!-- <AppenderRef ref="CONSOLE" /> -->
	<AppenderRef ref="FILE" />
</AsyncRoot>
    3. 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>
  3. If you want to log activity just for the PingOne Verify IdP Adapter, add the following line. 
    <Logger name="com.pingidentity.adapters.pingone.verify" level="DEBUG"/>
  4. Save the file.
