APPC Logging Guide
==================

The APPC modules manage logging functionality according to the logging
configuration file ``org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg``. APPC configuration defines
the location of the logging configuration file. Each APPC module
configured to generate logs reads the configuration file periodically
and generates logs according to the current logging level.

Logging Architecture 
---------------------

The following diagram illustrates the APPC logging architecture.

Log Types
---------

APPC generates several types of logs to capture information needed to
operate, troubleshoot, and report on performance:

-  **Audit Log**: The Audit Log provides a summary view of the
   processing of a request – a transaction – within an application. It
   captures activity requests received by APPC and includes such
   information as the time the activity initiated, when it finishes, and
   the API invoked at the component.

-  **Metric Log**: The Metrics Log provides a more detailed view into
   the processing of a transaction within APP-C. It captures the
   beginning and ending of activities necessary to complete the
   transaction within APPC modules, for example, the Dispatcher module,
   and other ONAP components such as A&AI.

-  **Error Log**: The Error Log captures INFO, WARN, ERROR, and FATAL
   conditions sensed (“exception handled”) by the APPC software
   components.

-  **Debug Log**: The optional Debug Log captures data that may be required to debug and correct abnormal conditions of the application.


The APPC modules manage logging functionality according to the logging
configuration file ``org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg``. APPC configuration defines
the location of the logging configuration file. Each APPC module
configured to generate logs reads the configuration file periodically
and generates logs according to the current logging level.

Log File Locations
------------------

The logging configuration file, ``org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg`` are located in
appc Git repository:

``/appc/appc-common/src/main/resources/org/openecomp/appc/org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg``


The logs are stored at the location defined by the appropriate appender:

``log4j.appender.error.File=${karaf.data}/log/APPC/appc-error.log``

``log4j.appender.debug.file=${karaf.data}/log/APPC/appc-debug.log``

``log4j.appender.metric.File=${karaf.data}/log/APPC/appc-metric.log``

``log4j.appender.audit.File=${karaf.data}/log/APPC/appc-audit.log``


Enabling APPC Logging 
----------------------

APPC uses Event and Error Logging Framework (EELF) for application logs.
To enable EELF logging:

1. Replace the default configuration file located at
   ``/opt/opendaylight/current/etc/org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg``

   with the configuration file that is checked into git:

   ``/appc/appc-common/src/main/resources/org/openecomp/appc/org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg``

2. Stop and restart ODL controller for the configuration changes to take
   effect.

3. Verify logging changes at the following log paths:

   -  ``/opt/opendaylight/current/data/log/eelf/karaf.log`` 
      This log contains the regular karaf.log output reformatted to use
      the EELF MDC properties and the pattern that is configured in the
      ``org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg`` file.
   -  ``/opt/opendaylight/current/data/log/APPC/<package-name>``
      This directory contains the audit, metric, error, and debug logs that are configured in the ``org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg`` file.


**Note:**
   ``/opt/opendaylight/current/data/log/APPC/controller`` contains the logs generated from the package ``org.openecomp.\*`` (all APPC logs)

-  Error.log: alarms –ERROR level logs and above

-  Info.log: INFO level logs only

-  Debug.log: debugging – DEBUG level and above

-  Audit – AUDIT level and above

Log Rotation
------------

Log rotation is performed after every 100 MB size limit is reached. The
log rotation interval is defined as part of the EELF framework.
