Logging

Comprehensive logging messages help you confirm system configuration and debug problems in configuration and code.

• How Geode Logging Works

  Apache Geode uses Apache Log4j 2 as the basis for its logging system.

• Understanding Log Messages and Their Categories

  System logging messages typically pertain to startup; logging management; connection and system membership; distribution; or cache, region, and entry management.

• Naming, Searching, and Creating Log Files

  The best way to manage and understand the logs is to have each member log to its own files.

• Set Up Logging

  You configure logging in a member's gemfire.properties or at startup with gfsh.
