CDD Plugin Log File Configuration

Products

• Continuous Delivery Director

Issue/Introduction

After recently upgrading to CDD 7.3 we notice lots of debug messages in the Catalina.out related to PluginTaskInvoker and http-nio-8443-exec threads. Is there a way to stop these debug?

Environment

Release : 7.3

Component : CONTINUOUS DELIVERY DIRECTOR

Cause

Debug is the default log level for a number of plugins. It is the recommended value in case troubleshooting is necessary. 

Resolution

1. Locate your settings.properties file. If you are using the recommended user "cdd" then the file should be here: /home/cdd/.cdd/conf/settings.properties
2. Add the entry/line: cdd.log.cdd-server.appenders.class.com.ca.rp.execution.external_plugin_service.executionengine.ExternalPluginWorker=INFO;

 

 

Additional Information

On Linux, the recommended user is cdd and it's user.home is often: /home/cdd.

On Windows, if Apache Tomcat is set to start as a service and the service is configured to "Log On" as Local System then user.home can evaluate to: C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile
