A
log level
(or severity level
) enables you to specify the level of
detail that is captured in the CA Risk Authentication logs. This level also controls
the rate at which the log grows.Log File Examples
The following subsections show a few sample entries (based on the Log Level) in
the
CA Risk Authentication log files.

Server Log File Severity
Levels
The following table describes the log levels that you see in server log files, in
the
decreasing
order of severity. Log Level
| Description
| |
0 | FATAL | Use this log level for serious, unrecoverable errors that can
cause the abrupt termination of the CA Risk Authentication
service. At the FATAL level, only situations which indicate a fatal
problem is logged. |
1 | WARNING | Use this log level for undesirable run-time exceptions,
potentially harmful situations, and recoverable problems that are
not yet FATAL. |
2 | INFO | Use this log level for capturing information about run-time
events. In other words, this information highlights the progress of the
application, which might include changes in: Server state, such as start, stop, and restart. Server properties. State of services. State of processes on the Server. For example, there are some logs that are always to be printed to
indicate that requests are being received and that they are
being processed. These logs appear at the INFO level. |
3 | LOW DETAIL | Use this log level for logging detailed information for debugging
purposes. This might include process tracing and changes in Server
states. |
When you specify a log level, message from all other levels of
higher
significance are reported too. For example, if the LogLevel is
specified as 3, then messages with log levels of FATAL, WARNING, and INFO are also
captured.Advanced Authentication
and UDS Log File Severity LevelsThe following table describes the format of the entries in the following log
files:
- arcotuds.log (UDS Log File)
- arcotadmin.log (Advanced AuthenticationLog File)
Column
| Associated Pattern
(In the Log File)
| Description
|
Time Stamp | %d{yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss,SSS z} : | The time when the entry was logged. This entry uses the
application server time zone. The format of logging this
information is: yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss,mis z Here: mis represents milliseconds. z represents the time zone. |
Thread ID | [%t] : | The ID of the thread that logged the entry. |
Log Level (or Severity) | %-5p : | The severity level of the logged entry. See "Supported Severity Levels" for more information. |
Logger Class | %-5c{3}(%L) : | The name of the logger that made the log request. |
Message | %m%n : | The message the Server that is logged in the log file in the
free-flowing format. Note: The granularity of the message depends on the Log
Level that you set in the log file. |
