4.3 Managing Logging Levels

A Global Administrator can configure the logging levels for Identity Governance and the Identity Governance clients to provide a more granular view of the events occurring. Use the following information to enable or increase the logging levels for Identity Governance and Identity Governance clients.

4.3.1 Setting Logging Levels by Module and Package

Identity Governance allows some administrators to set logging levels for the packages in each available module. The product includes a short list of packages for each selected module to which an administrator can assign a logging level. They can also search for and add packages to each module, or delete packages from each module.

Identity Governance allows administrators to set the following logging levels for each package:

  • Info

  • Warning

  • Error

  • Fatal

  • Debug

  • Trace

  • None

Identity Governance displays a list of packages associated with each module.

To set the logging level:

  1. Log in to Identity Governance as a Global Administrator.

  2. Select Configuration > Logging Levels.

  3. From the drop-down list, select one of the following modules:

    • DaaS WAR

    • DTP WAR

    • Server WAR

    • RPT WAR

  4. Specify the logging levels for the packages in the selected module.

    NOTE:You cannot change the logging levels for Client, CX, and Health modules using the user interface. To specify logging levels for these modules, you need to edit the respective xml files, then restart Tomcat. Contact your Technical Support team for more information about editing these files.

  5. (Optional) Click the toggle to enable auditing for the packages in the selected package.

  6. (Optional) Add an appender reference.

  7. Next to each updated package, click Save.

  8. (Optional) To add a logger package to a selected module:

    1. Next to Logging levels by module and package, click the plus sign (+).

    2. In the Add New Logger window, type the name of the package you want to add.

    3. Select the logging level for the package you want to add.

    4. (Optional) Click the plus sign (+) to select an appender reference for the package.

    5. Click Add.

4.3.2 Setting the Exception Level

The exception level in Identity Governance specifies the level at which exception messages appear in the console. By default, the logging exception level is set to Debug. Global Administrators who want stack trace, should set the exception level to Error.

NOTE:The exception level applies to all modules and packages.
