Corridor Logging Management
This article explains how to see and configure logs by using Corridor Logging Management (CLM).
Overview
CLM lets admins see, configure, and download logs. By default, all log types are activated at severity level INFO. Logs are stdout from the CLI with the severity level enclosed in brackets. CLM lets admins configure the severity for each log type. However, settings such as when the log files are automatically deleted, backed up, or the maximum file size allowed for a log file can only be configured by editing the log4j.properties file in the server.
The Logs Tab
The logs grid consists of the following fields:
| Field | Description |
| Name | Click the log name to download the log. |
| Size in Kb | Log file size in KB. |
| Last Modified | The timestamp of when the log was last modified. |
| Actions |
You can perform the following actions in the Logs tab:
|
Search
Enter a keyword or a date in the Search box. To clear the search, hover the cursor over the Search box and click X.
Page Navigation in the Logs Tab
Use the Show entries dropdown list to adjust the number of entries per page to 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, or 500. Turn to the next or previous page with the buttons at the right bottom of the list.
The System Appenders Tab
The System Appenders tab lets you configure the available log types at different severity levels or even turn off logging for a log type. Log types are as follows:
| Log Type |
| Authentication |
| General |
| Invoices |
| SMTP |
| Timekeepers |
Security levels in Corridor are the same as the pre-defined levels for Apache Lo4j. According to tutorialspoint, security levels trace events as follows:
| Security Level | Description |
| FATAL | Severe errors that may lead the application to abort. |
| ERROR | Errors that may still allow the application to run. |
| WARN | Potentially harmful events. |
| INFO |
Informational messages that highlight the application progress at coarse-grain level. |
| DEBUG | Fine-grained informational events intended to debug an application. |
| TRACE |
Finer-grained informational events than DEBUG. |
| ALL | All levels including custom levels. |
How to Configure the Security Levels
By default, all log types are set at the INFO severity level, however, you can change the security level on the System Appenders tab. To change the security level, select a value in the Security Level dropdown list for a log type.
How to Turn Off a Log
Turn off logging a log type by unchecking the Activate checkbox.
