Only the message from "logger.error" method is displayed in the log output when used in the Identity Governance and Intelligence Rules Development Toolkit 5.2.6

Question & Answer


Question

Why is only the message from the "logger.error" method is displayed in the log output when used in the Identity Governance and Intelligence Rules Development Toolkit 5.2.6?
In this scenario, the following simple test advanced rule is created in Access Governance Core > Configure > Rules.
when
    eval( true )
then
logger.info(">>>> Log info");
logger.debug(">>>> Log debug");
logger.warn(">>>> Log warn");
logger.error(">>>> Log error");
The rule is downloaded to the IGI Rules Development Toolkit environment and run.
The following example of the log output shows only the message from the logger.error method is displayed.

INIT IGI
INFO  RulesEngineDevTools - Reading configuration file C:\Toolkit5261\Workspace\RulesDevelopment/config/bootstrap.properties
INFO  RulesEngineDevTools - Initializing IGI, please wait ...
INFO  RulesEngineDevTools - IGI, initialized.
INFO  RulesEngineDevTools - IGI Log level set to DEBUG for Rule Engine
WARN  RootClass - composite-id class does not override hashCode(): com.engiweb.profilemanager.backend.hbean.UserPreferenceKey
INFO  RulesEngineDevTools - ***** START execution of ADVANCED_RULES_EXAMPLES
ERROR AGC - >>>> Log error
INFO  RulesEngineDevTools - ***** END execution

Cause

There is a setting in the "RulesDevelopment" project located in the log4j.xml file, which you can change to resolve only the message from the "logger.error" method being displayed in the log output.

Answer

In Eclipse in your project locate and open the /RulesDevelopment/config/properties/logging/log4j.xml file.
Find the text as shown in the following example.
Change the text from:
<root>
    <level value="ERROR"/>
    <appender-ref ref="console" />
</root>
To:
<root>
    <level value="DEBUG"/>
    <appender-ref ref="console" />
</root>
Save the file, refresh the project and run the advanced rule again.
The following example shows the log output where all the messages from the logger methods are displayed.
INIT IGI
INFO  RulesEngineDevTools - Reading configuration file C:\Toolkit5261\Workspace\RulesDevelopment/config/bootstrap.properties
INFO  RulesEngineDevTools - Initializing IGI, please wait ...
INFO  RulesEngineDevTools - IGI, initialized.

WARN  RootClass - composite-id class does not override hashCode(): com.engiweb.profilemanager.backend.hbean.UserPreferenceKey
INFO  RulesEngineDevTools - ***** START execution of ADVANCED_RULES_EXAMPLES
INFO  AGC - START
            RuleFlow -> ADVANCED/<Empty>/ADVANCED_RULES_EXAMPLES/RUN
INFO  AGC - Direct call to the debug flow class rules.advanced.advanced_rules_examples.TestFlow
INFO  AGC - >>>> Log info
DEBUG AGC - >>>> Log debug
WARN  AGC - >>>> Log warn
ERROR AGC - >>>> Log error
INFO  AGC - STOP
            Process <Empty>/ADVANCED_RULES_EXAMPLES/RUN
