Spatial Logging

The logback.xml file allows you to control on logging behavior, such as sending output to a log file instead of by default sending it to the console which redirects to the spectrum-server.log. You can also set the log level to turn off logging altogether or log only fatal errors, for example.

Option	Values
Level	OFF–turn off logging ERROR–log runtime or unexpected errors WARN–log warnings only; for example, using a deprecated API INFO–log runtime events such as startup or shutdown [default] DEBUG–log detailed debugging information
Output	CONSOLE-SPATIAL –sends log information to the console [default] FILE-SPATIAL–sends log information to a log file based on component (no longer applicable - Spectrum Spatial has a single remote component)
