Products

• Spectrum

Issue/Introduction

We are seeing alarm differences between NetOPs and DX02 products.  How can we enable debug to troubleshoot this further?

Environment

Spectrum Data Publisher. (SPUB). (OI Connector)

Release : ANY

Cause

Debug logs to further troubleshoot the problem

Resolution

To enable debug on SPUB Connector please enable the following

 

1. From /SpectrumDataPublisher/config folder, please make a backup of the log4j2.properties file and then edit as follows, under SpectrumDataPublisher.log section change the 2nd to the last line to fatal as shown below

 

appender.commonlog.type = RollingFile

appender.commonlog.name = CommonLog

appender.commonlog.fileName=${logdir}/SpectrumDataPublisher.log

appender.commonlog.filePattern=${logdir}/SpectrumDataPublisher_${filePattern}

appender.commonlog.layout.type = PatternLayout

 appender.commonlog.layout.pattern = ${pattern}

appender.commonlog.policies.type = Policies

appender.commonlog.policies.size.type = SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy

appender.commonlog.policies.size.size = 100MB

appender.commonlog.strategy.type = DefaultRolloverStrategy

appender.commonlog.filter.threshold.type = LevelRangeFilter

appender.commonlog.filter.threshold.minLevel = fatal

appender.commonlog.filter.threshold.maxLevel = trace

 

 

2.  Near the very bottom of the log4j2.properties file you will see the following and change from false to true

 

logger.alarmLogger.name=ALARM_LOGGER
logger.alarmLogger.additivity = true
logger.alarmLogger.appenderRef.alarmlog.ref = AlarmLog

 

3.  Change the logger.alarmLogger.level from info to trace.

# set the log level to trace to store payloads of the sync data.
logger.alarmLogger.level = trace

 

3.  Save the log4j2.properties file and then stop and start the connector from /SpectrumDataPublisher from the command line so that the debug changes will take affect.

 

For Linux Connector

./run.sh stop

 

then 

./run.sh start. 

 

For Windows Connector

from command line

run.bat stop

 

then

run.bat start

 

 

The logs will be output to /SpectrumDataPublisher/logs as SpectrumDataPublisher.log and Alarm.log files.

 

 

 

 

Additional Information

The logs will automatically roll over and be dated
