About Log Message Detail Levels

The SIMULIA Execution Engine provides system monitoring and debugging information in log files, like all Java enterprise applications. You can filter the amount of information that is logged, choosing more or less details.

You can choose any of the following settings:

  • Debug. These messages are intended for debugging system or component code. Typically, these messages are meaningful only to the program developers. This level can produce a large quantity of messages, which can affect system performance. This option is the lowest level, providing the most information. Using this setting will send all types of messages to your log file: debug, informational, warning, error, and system error.

  • Info. These messages contain routine status or other informational items that are not generally significant. Choosing this setting will provide all Info messages as well as all Warning, Error, and SysError messages.

  • Warning. These messages indicate a condition of which the end user should be aware but do not generally indicate a failure. Choosing this setting will provide all Warning messages as well as all Error and SysError messages.

  • Error. These messages indicate an error condition that was caused by the end user, operational data, or some other condition that can be corrected. Choosing this setting will provide all Error messages as well as all SysError messages.

  • SysError. These messages indicate a software system failure. The message may indicate that some part of the infrastructure has become unusable (for example, a database has gone down), or it may indicate a programming error. These errors should be reported to system administrators for analysis. This option is the highest level, providing the smallest amount of messages. Using this setting will send only system error messages to your log file.
