4.3. Logging system

Apache ServiceMix Kernel provides a powerful logging system based on OPS4j Pax Logging.

In addition to being a standard OSGi Log service, it supports the following APIs:

  • Apache Commons Logging
  • SLF4J
  • Apache Log4j
  • Java Util Logging

The Kernel also comes with a set of console commands that can be used to display, view and change the log levels.

Configuration

The configuration of the logging system uses a standard Log4j configuration file at the following location:

[SMX4KNL:kernel]/etc/org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg

You can edit this file at runtime and any change will be reloaded and be effective immediately.

Commands

The log subshell comes with 3 commands:

  • ld or log/display: display the last log entries
  • lde or log/display-exception: display the last exception from the log
  • log/get: show the log levels
  • log/set: set the log levels

For example, if you want to debug something, you might want to run the following commands:

> log/set DEBUG
... do something ...
> ld

Note that the log levels set using the log set commands are not persistent and will be lost upon restart.
To configure those in a persistent way, you should edit the configuration file mentioned above.
