Log Descriptor Element

2 min read

A log element specifies the name of a log file for a server or service. A log element must be defined for each log file that can be accessed remotely by an administrative tool. Note that it is not necessary to define a log element for the values of the Ice.StdErr and Ice.StdOut properties.

This element may only appear as a child of a server element or a service element.

The following attributes are supported:

Attribute	Description	Required
`path`	The path name of the log file. If a relative path is specified, it is relative to the current working directory of the node. The node must have sufficient access privileges to read the file.	Yes
`property`	Specifies the name of a property in which to store the path name of the log file as given in the `path` attribute.	No

Here is an example to demonstrate the use of this element:

XML

<server id="MyServer" ...>
    <log path="${server}.log" property="LogFile"/>
</server>
