Using Logging Functionalities¶

Configuring the Logging Settings¶

The logging configuration of the Open Edge Device Kit is defined in the settings file /ipc/cfg/oedk_config.json. The following table lists the configurable logging parameters:

The following extract of the Open Edge Device Kit shows an example logging configuration:

"logging": {
        "active_log_directory": "/persistent_massdata/log/",
        "upload_log_directory": "/persistent_massdata/tmp/logsToUpload/",
        "archived_log_directory": "/persistent_massdata/tmp/archive/",
        "logLevel": "INFO",
        "size_mb": 20,
        "size_cap_mb": 200,
        "log_history_days": 8,
        "upload_cycle_sec": 120
    }

Automatic Log File Archiving¶

The Open Edge Device Kit regularly creates new log files and archives the previous file. This is triggered if either of the following conditions is fulfilled:

• Time: The Open Edge Device Kit creates a new log file when the first log message of a new day arrives.
• Size: The Open Edge Device Kit creates a new log file when the current file reaches the user defined size limit size_mb.

Log File Upload¶

The Open Edge Device Kit automatically copies archived log files into the upload folder and starts the upload.
