Logging Levels Java
When to use the different log levels? up vote 142 down vote favorite 108 There are different ways to log messages, in order of fatality: FATAL ERROR WARN INFO DEBUG TRACE How to decide when to use which?

Slf4j Log Levels
raoulsson 4,01463152 add a comment| 16 Answers 16 active oldest votes up vote 218 down vote accepted I generally subscribe to the following convention: Trace - Only when I would be "tracing" the code and trying to find one part of a function specifically. Debug - Information that is diagnostically helpful to people more than just developers (IT, sysadmins, etc.). Info - Generally useful information to log (service start/stop, configuration assumptions, etc). Info I want to always have available but usually don't care about under normal circumstances. This is my out-of-the-box config level. Warn - Anything that can potentially cause application oddities, but for which I am automatically recovering. (Such as switching from a primary to backup server, retrying an operation, missing secondary data, etc.) Error - Any error which is fatal to the operation, but not the service or application (can't open a required file, missing data, etc.). These errors will force user (administrator, or direct user) intervention. These are usually reserved (in my apps) for incorrect connection strings, missing services, etc. Fatal - Any error that is forcing a shutdown of the service or appl

You can also define your custom levels by sub-classing the Level class. Level Description ALL All levels including http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2031163/when-to-use-the-different-log-levels custom levels. DEBUG Designates fine-grained informational events that are most useful to debug an application. ERROR Designates error events that might still allow the application to continue running. FATAL Designates very severe error events that will presumably lead the application to abort. INFO Designates informational messages that highlight the progress of the application at coarse-grained level. OFF The highest possible rank and is intended to turn https://www.tutorialspoint.com/log4j/log4j_logging_levels.htm off logging. TRACE Designates finer-grained informational events than the DEBUG. WARN Designates potentially harmful situations. How do Levels Works? A log request of level p in a logger with level q is enabled if p >= q. This rule is at the heart of log4j. It assumes that levels are ordered. For the standard levels, we have ALL < DEBUG < INFO < WARN < ERROR < FATAL < OFF. The Following example shows how we can filter all our DEBUG and INFO messages. This program uses of logger method setLevel(Level.X) to set a desired logging level: This example would print all the messages except Debug and Info: import org.apache.log4j.*; public class LogClass { private static org.apache.log4j.Logger log = Logger.getLogger(LogClass.class); public static void main(String[] args) { log.setLevel(Level.WARN); log.trace("Trace Message!"); log.debug("Debug Message!"); log.info("Info Message!"); log.warn("Warn Message!"); log.error("Error Message!"); log.fatal("Fatal Message!"); } } When you compile and run the LogClass program, it would generate the following result − Warn Message! Error Message! Fatal Message! Setting Levels using Configuration File log4j provides you configuration file based level setting which sets you free from changing the source code when you want to change the debugging level. Following is an example configura
kind of logging level or severity, where each individual log entry is marked at a certain level such as "Warning", "Error" or "Information". Not only is this great for ranking the http://www.thejoyofcode.com/Logging_Levels_and_how_to_use_them.aspx importance of a particular entry, it can also be used to control the amount of logging making its way through to your log repository of choice. If you've heard me talk about this in the past then you've probably heard the volume control analogy - if there's just too much noise at the "Information" level you can always turn the volume down to "Error". Maybe you want to write all entries log level at "Information" volume level to your database but for anything of "Error" or above, you'd also like an e-mail. All the logging frameworks listed support this scenario. log4net and nlog share the same level structure with the following entries (in ascending priority): Debug, Information, Warn, Error and Fatal. Just five to worry about and easy to provide guidance for but perhaps not as granular as their little brother... Enterprise Library is built log level error upon System.Diagnostics (part of the .NET Framework) and therefore uses the TraceEventType enumeration which has the following values: Transfer, Resume, Suspend, Stop, Start, Verbose, Information, Warning, Error and Critical. In a previous post 'Unit testing a logging wrapper', we talked about wrapping your logging framework du jour and looked at two reasons for doing this: portability to a different framework and simplifying the API. For these reasons, I usually create my own log level enumeration to maintain ownership of the API surface and, in the past, I've followed log4net and nlog's lead with just five logging levels*. Here's how I use them: Debug This is the most verbose logging level (maximum volume setting). I usually consider Debug to be out-of-bounds for a production system and used it only for development and testing. I prefer to aim to get my logging levels just right so I have just enough information and endeavour to log this at the Information level or above. Information The Information level is typically used to output information that is useful to the running and management of your system. Information would also be the level used to log Entry and Exit points in key areas of your application. However, you may choose to add more entry and exit points at Debug le
