Adding a new log category

Using the logger configuration tool, you can add logs and change the log levels to tune the station output seen in the Application Director. This procedure documents how to add a new log category with name and severity level for a log file.

Workbench and station should be running.
  1. To configure the log settings, do one of the following.
    • Click Tools > Logger Configuration.
    • Expand Station > Config > Services and double-click on DebugService.
    The LoggerConfiguration view opens.

  2. To add a category name, enter the new category name in the Log Category property.


  3. Click the severity level drop-down list and select the desired log level in the Add Log Category.
  4. Click to add the new log category and click Save.
    The system adds the new log category to the Configured Log Categories.

    The changed logs are stored in your C:\Users\Niagara\tridium\logging directory and settings become immediately active, affecting station output as seen in the Application Director.
