h2. Level 'MONIT'

Petals defines a specific level: MONIT, that can be used by a log parser to monitor the exchanges in Petals ESB. The level MONIT is inserted between levels CONFIG and FINE:

The level MONIT is inserted between levels CONFIG and FINE:

* SEVERE (highest value)
* WARNING

...

* FINEST (lowest value)

Moreover standard information of each log level, a MONIT level trace is accompanied by following information:
* a trace code identifying the nature of the MONIT trace. See below the list of trace code.
* a correlation identifier identifying the process instance,
* a process loop identifier identifying the loop instance in which the service provider is invoked,
* a process branch identifier identifying the branch instance in which the service provider is invoked,
* specific information to the trace code
* a text message explaining the event
* if the extended mode is enabled: the reference where the content of message is stored. The content stored is defined accordingly to the trace code.

h2. Default levels

...

The default root logger level is WARNING. It means that all classes log only SEVERE and WARNING information.

The default Petals root logger level is INFO. That's why all Petals components will log only SEVERE, WARNING and INFO information.

You can enable logging and specify a specific level for each module (container, component, cdk...). Here is how you would set debugging from Petals. You would need to ensure the Handler's level is also set to collect this threshold, so FINEST or ALL should be set.
{code}
##Petals level
Petals.level = FINEST

#Handler Configuration
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = FINEST
{code}

Example of configuration to debug (Level FINEST) petals-bc-soap component:
{code}
##Petals level
Petals.level = INFO #Log level for all petals services
Petals.Container.Components.petals-bc-soap.level = FINEST #Log level for petals-bc-soap component

#Handler Configuration
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = FINEST
{code}

h2. Petals formatters

Petals provides two formatters: PetalsSimpleFormatter and PetalsExtendedFormatter.

PetalsSimpleFormatter uses the following pattern:
{panel:borderStyle=solid}{+}YYYY/MM/DD+ +HH:MM:SS,FFF+ +LOG LEVEL+ +LOGGER NAME+ : ?\[LOG MESSAGE\]
\[EXTRA DATA KEY\] = '\[EXTRA DATA VALUE\]'
\[JAVA EXCEPTION\]{panel}

PetalsExtendedFormatter is used to log message content (payload XML of SOAP or JBI Message), attachment names and properties.

The pattern of PetalsExtendedFormatter inherits from the pattern of PetalsSimpleFormatter.

*Example of logging output with PetalsSimpleFormatter:*
{panel:borderStyle=solid}
2011/03/16 14:04:20,829 MONIT \[Petals.Container.Components.petals-bc-soap\] : External request received
client = '192.168.1.95'
processBranchId = '0'
processInstanceId = 'petals:uid:e871ffb0-4fcd-11e0-b428-00123feb3632'
processLoopId = '0'
requestedUrl = 'http://192.168.1.95:8080/petals/services/LoggerDemoService/'
traceCode = 'MON005'
{panel}

*Example of logging output with PetalsExtendedFormatter:*
{panel:borderStyle=solid}
2011/03/16 15:57:33,798 MONIT \[Petals.Container.Components.petals-bc-soap\] : External request received
attachmentNames = ''
client = '192.168.1.95'
processBranchId = '0'
processInstanceId = 'petals:uid:b95be910-4fdd-11e0-b678-00123feb3632'
processLoopId = '0'
requestedUrl = 'http://192.168.1.95:8080/petals/services/LoggerDemoService/'
soapEnvelope = '<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:log="http://petals.ow2.org/bpel/LoggerDemo/"><soapenv:Body>
<log:LoggerDemoRequest>
<log:input>test</log:input>
</log:LoggerDemoRequest>
</soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>'
traceCode = 'MON005'
{panel}

{builder-infopanel:The performance of Petals ESB is reduced when the PetalsExtendendFormatter is activate.}
{info:title=Default behavior}One or both previous formatters are always used during execution, unless default handler formatters in ../conf/logger.properties are changed
{info}
If following formatter is applied for both handlers:

*java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter = org.ow2.petals.commons.logger.PetalsSimpleFormatter*
*java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = org.ow2.petals.commons.logger.PetalsSimpleFormatter*

All logs are processed by the PetalsSimpleFormatter whether we are in _FINEST{_}_, SEVERE, CONFIG ... MONIT_, but

the both previous log traces are written if the level *MONIT* is precised.

h2. Logged informations

Following informations are +common{+}{+}s+ to both formatters:
* Timestamp
* Logger level
* Logger component name
* Log message
* Process branch identifier
* Process instance identifier
* Process loop identifier
* Trace code

We can found more informations about previous concepts in glossary [Glossary|http://doc.petalslink.com/display/glossary/Petals+ESB+specific+vocabulary]

After that, _Extended_ formatter allows to precise more detailed informations, as with SOAP component,

...

we can recover following additional informations:
* Requested URL
* Soap envelope content
* Attachment names
* Client IP adress
 
 
{tip:title=Multiple formatter utilizations}We can also use both formatter for different purposes
 
* If you don't want too much information in Petals console, we can keep the *"Simple"* formatter with following property:

         java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = org.ow2.petals.commons.logger.PetalsSimpleFormatter

* If you want more detailled informations accessible at all times prefer the *"Extended"* formatter in Petals log file with following property:
java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter = org.ow2.petals.commons.logger.PetalsExtendedFormatter
{tip}
 
 
{warning:title=Environment variable}
Take in account if the following variable is define or not:

_\-Djava.util.logging.config.file=$PETALS_HOME/conf/loggers.properties"_

Because, if the previous argument on your Petals process is setted to another logging file, the loggers.properties under /conf +will not be take in account+.

This setting can create a real problem, you do not necessarily understand where it comes directly
