Snaplex Logging

Field reference for the Logging tab of the Add Snaplex page

This tab is available for both Groundplexes and Cloudplexes. You create a Groundplex and set its Logging fields yourself; SnapLogic provisions a Cloudplex instead, but Environment admins can still adjust its logging settings through this same page.


Field/Field set	Description
Level	Specify the minimum level of logging or the type of details that you want to enable for the new Snaplex. Available values: Trace: Records details of all events associated with the Snaplex. Debug: Records all events associated with the Snaplex. Info: Records messages that outline the status of the Snaplex and the completed Tasks. Warning: Records all warning messages associated with the Snaplex. Error: Records all error messages associated with the Snaplex. Default value: `Debug` This setting applies to the whole Snaplex. To change the log level for individual libraries instead, refer to Configure a Snaplex node. Higher verbosity levels (such as Trace or Debug) generate significantly more log volume. If you forward Snaplex node logs to a third-party monitoring tool, factor this into your expected ingestion volume; refer to Third-party Observability for details on forwarding Snaplex logs and metrics to third-party observability tools.
Log file size	The maximum size of the log file to be created for the Snaplex. Default value: `300` For the full list of Snaplex log files and how rotation into the backup directory works, refer to Snaplex logs.
Metric	Select the log file size in `KB, MB or GB` from the dropdown. Default value: `MB`
Main backup count	The number of backup main log files that the Platform must maintain for the Snaplex. Default value: `40`
Error backup count	The number of backup error log files that the Platform must maintain for the Snaplex. Default value: `5`
Access backup count	The number of backup access log files that the Platform must maintain for the Snaplex. Default value: `5` For how the main, error, and access backup counts relate to the log types written to disk and the rotation schedule, refer to Snaplex logs.
