Generate Log Files on the Mart Portal

Mart Portal can generate log files and you can configure how the log is generated.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to C:\Program Files\erwin\Mart Portal\MartApp\config folder and locate the log4j-portal (e.g. log4j-portal.xml) file.
   Similarly, you can edit log file parameter for log4j2-er360 (e.g. log4j2-er360.xml), and log4j2-vaultservice (e.g. log4j2-vaultservice.xml) to configure log files for ER360, and Vault services respectively.
2. Modify the values for the following parameters as required:

   Priority value

   Specifies the level of logging. The priority value parameter can take the following values:

   Off

   Specifies that no log is generated.

   Info

   Specifies that a log is generated for every event.

   Error

   Specifies that a log is generated when an error occurs.

    

   DEBUG can be used to replace INFO only if instructed by Quest Technical Support.  Always remember where DEBUG was used as that should be replaced back to the original log level (e.g. INFO) after troubleshooting to prevent the logs from growing too large. 

   File Name

   Specifies the path to the log file and the name of the log file. For more information about the file path, refer to the Mart Portal Log Files topic.

   The maximum size of the log file is 1 MB. If the file exceeds the maximum size, another log file is created in the same location. When multiple log files are generated, the filenames include the serial number of the file in ascending order.

3. Save the file.
4. Restart the Mart Portal service.

Enable Logging in Local AppData

To enable logging in a user's AppData while using Mart Portal as a Windows Service, do the following:

1. Once the service is created, go to service properties.
2. On the Log On tab, click This Account.
3. Enter the credentials.
4. Start the service.

   Logging is now enabled for your instance of Mart Portal as a Windows service. The log file, will be created at file path mentioned in the Mart Portal Log Files topic.
