Setting the log level for an Edge component

By default, Edge components use a logging level of INFO. However, you can set the logging level for each Edge component. For example, you might want to set it to DEBUG for the Message Processor, or to ERROR for the Management Server.

The available log levels include:

  • ALL
  • DEBUG
  • ERROR
  • FATAL
  • INFO
  • OFF
  • TRACE
  • WARN

To set the log level for a component, edit the component's properties file to set the conf_system_log.level token, then restart the component:

  1. Open /opt/apigee/customer/application/component_name.properties in an editor, where component_name can be one of the following:
    • apigee-cassandra (Cassandra)
    • apigee-openldap (OpenLDAP)
    • apigee-postgresql (PostgreSQL database)
    • apigee-qpidd (Qpidd)
    • apigee-zookeeper (ZooKeeper)
    • edge-management-server (Management Server)
    • edge-management-ui (New Edge UI)
    • edge-message-processor (Message Processor)
    • edge-postgres-server (Postgres Server)
    • edge-qpid-server (Qpid Server)
    • edge-router (Edge Router)

    If the file does not exist, create it. (For the New Edge UI component edge-management-ui, the properties file is /opt/apigee/customer/application/management-ui.properties; edge-management-ui-static contains static web assets only and has no properties file.)

  2. Set the following property in the properties file to the desired log level. For example, to set it to DEBUG: 
    conf_system_log.level=DEBUG
  3. Save the file.
  4. Ensure the properties file is owned by the "apigee" user: 
    chown apigee:apigee /opt/apigee/customer/application/component_properties_file_name.properties
  5. Restart the component by using the following syntax: 
    /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service component_name restart
