Adding classname and line information to maximo logs

Resolving The Problem

For any Maximo 6.x environment the default logging.properties file is configured for a production environment. In Maximo 7.x you can change that in Logging application.

At our development environment we can add more details to the log messages:

For Maximo 6.x :

Open the file: <MAXIMO_FOLDER>\applications\maximo\properties\logging.properties

Change the ConversionPattern to ConversionPattern=%d{HH:mm:ss} %-5p %m (%C %L) %n
Also do it in the ConsoleAppender and RollingFileAppender
This way, the log messages will show the class and the line where log was triggered.

Results in the log will be something as:

Example: 16:49:12 ERROR Hello logging! (psdi.app.actionscfg.Test 28)

You will need to rebuild, redeploy EAR files and restart Maximo.


For Maximo 7.x :

You can perform that action on the Logging application, by updating the Conversion Pattern field from the Manage Appenders dialog box.
In the example below we just added %C and %L parameters.
Results in the log will be something as:

Example: 16:49:12 ERROR Hello logging! (psdi.app.actionscfg.Test 28)
