Log File

[Tim Anderson]

Is there any way to stop, or restrict the log file.

I have a plugin created with ScriptMaster with a that is called about every 2 secs, 24 hours a day. This is creating a huge log file, and I think possibly causing the routine to hang occasionally - the last noticeable time the log file was over 1Gb. Tricky to open in NotePad!

If there was a command to set the log file to record only errors rather than routine calls it would be a great help. Or a way to start a new log file without restarting FileMaker as this is not an option.

Thanks

Tim

I guess this is a 'No' then

Hey Tim,

 

There is actually a way to increase/reduce the logging level of the log files being created by the 360Works plug-ins. You will need to edit the logging.properties file by adding something similar to:

 

com.prosc.beanshell.level = SEVERE

(where com.prosc.beanshell is the Java package for ScriptMaster) at the bottom of the properties file. The above would limit the logged messages to the SEVERE level, which would reduce your log file by displaying only the errors that are marked as severe. The default location of the logging.properties file is located at:

 

"lib/logging.properties", inside the JRE directory.

 

I hope this helps.

Thanks SCNinja,

 

Will give that a try when I do a new build of the plugin.
