System Tool - Configure Logging
This tool is accessible through the Tools -> System -> Configure Logging menu. Upon choosing this item, you will be presented with a screen allowing you to enable or disable logging in various parts of the system.
Log4j is the internal logging subsystem that Cascade uses to output information to the cascade.log file as well as other logs, like publish.log. These logs are useful from a diagnostic perspective and should not be considered part of the normal everyday administration of Cascade server.
When a user reports an issue, Hannon Hill will sometimes request that the logging on the problematic server be modified so that our staff can gather relevant information. Because it is undesirable (from a usability and performance standpoint) to enable logging in all parts of the application, this utility has been added to help adjust what gets logged and what does not.
These settings only need to be adjusted for diagnostic purposes and should not be considered a normal part of your interaction with Cascade Server. Note that any changes made will be reset the next time Cascade Server is restarted.
