Engine Log properties determine the type of events the engine will log. Log files are displayed in the Log Viewer but can also be read with any text editor.
To configure Engine Log properties:
In the left pane of Process Administrator, click Engines.
In the right pane, on the Engines page, click the engine Name.
On the Engines | Edit Engines page, click the Log tab.
Configure the following properties and click Save.
| Messages Logged from Server | Determines the lowest severity of messages to be logged from the engine. For example, if Warning is selected, only messages equivalent to Warning, Severe, or Fatal are logged. Lower settings yield more messages and are therefore more taxing to the engine. A setting of Warning is recommended for testing and production environments, since it might provide critical feedback for potential problems. A setting of Debug is only recommended for troubleshooting a particular problem, since it adversely affects engine performance. |
| Messages Logged from BP-Methods | Determines the lowest severity of messages to be logged from BP-Methods. |
| Messages Sent by Email | Determines the lowest severity of messages to be sent to the administrator by e-mail. |
| Maximum Size of Log File | Sets the maximum size of log files. Because it takes longer to update large log files, it is more efficient to use a large number of smaller log files. |
| Maximum Number of Log Files | Sets the maximum number of log files. When a log file reaches the maximum size, subsequent messages are written to a new log file. Once the maximum number of log files has been reached, the oldest log file is automatically deleted to make room for the next log file. |
