Log Configuration

Log Configuration is a management interface in Sym3 Web for viewing and adjusting system logging settings.
It allows you to:

  • Review the current log level for each logger.
  • Apply temporary log level changes for troubleshooting.
  • Save permanent changes to the log4cxx configuration file.

This page helps you fine-tune logging for diagnostics while balancing performance and storage use.

Overview

The interface supports two main types of changes:

  • Permanent changes — saved to the log4cxx configuration file and persist until changed again.
  • Temporary changes — applied for a set duration and automatically reverted when the timer expires.

Permanent Changes

Commit All Changes

Click Commit All Changes when you’ve finished adjusting log levels.
This saves your changes permanently to the log4cxx configuration file.

Note: Setting the log level to DEBUG or INFO permanently can quickly increase disk usage and may reduce system performance. Use these levels only when necessary.

Undo

Click Undo to discard any unsaved changes.
The page will reload with the current active configuration from the system, restoring it to its last saved state.

Temporary Changes

Start

Applies a temporary log level change for the specified duration.
When the timer expires, the original configuration level is automatically restored.

Stop

Immediately restores the original configuration log level and stops the timer.
