You can configure the format and level of logging from within the Nexus interface. To do this, click on Log Configuration under the Administration menu in the left-hand navigation menu. Clicking on this link will display the panel shown in Figure 6.38, “The Log Configuration Panel”.
From this panel you can configure the following logging configuration properties:
- Root Logger Level
- This controls how verbose the Nexus logging will be. If set to DEBUG, Nexus will be very verbose printing all log messages include debugging statements. If set to ERROR, Nexus will be far less verbose only printing out a log statement if Nexus encounters an error.
- File Appender Pattern
- This field controls the format of each log line. This field’s format corresponds to the format expected by a Log4J PatternAppender. For more information about this format, refer to the Javadoc for Log4J’s PatternAppender.
The other configuration parameters: Root Logger Appenders and File Append Location, are not editable.
