Logging All Agents

This page documents the logging section of the FTSnext agent configuration file (application.yaml). It is used to define logging behaviour of the agents, and allows for fine-grained configuration, relying upon Spring Boot logging.

Configuration Example

logging.level:
  care.smith.fts: INFO

Explanation:

• logging.level: This is the main configuration key used to define the log levels for specific application components or packages.
• care.smith.fts: A specific logging prefix for the care.smith.fts package. The log level for this package is set to INFO in the example.

To enable or modify the logging level, uncomment and adjust the relevant package's entry.

Log Levels

The following log levels can be assigned to a logging prefix:

• TRACE: Fine-grained informational events useful for debugging.
• DEBUG: General debugging information.
• INFO: Informational messages indicating normal operations.
• WARN: Warnings indicating potentially harmful situations.
• ERROR: Error events that might allow the application to continue running.
• FATAL: Severe error events causing premature application termination.

Significant Logging Prefixes

The table below outlines common logging prefixes and their typical purposes:

Logging Prefix	Description	Example Log Level
care.smith.fts	Handles functionalities in the FTS module of the care.smith application.	INFO

How to Modify Log Levels

To customize the log level for a specific package:

1. Uncomment the relevant entry in the logging.level section.
2. Set the desired log level from the available options.
3. Save the configuration file and restart the application for changes to take effect.

Example:

logging.level:
  care.smith.fts: INFO
  care.smith.fts.util: WARN

This configuration sets the care.smith.fts package to INFO and the care.smith.fts.util package to WARN.

For additional details, refer to the application's logging framework documentation.
