Logging

This topic links to documentation about logging in VMware Tanzu GemFire.

Comprehensive logging messages help you confirm system configuration and debug problems in configuration and code.

• How Tanzu GemFire Logging Works

  VMware Tanzu GemFire uses Apache Log4j 2 as the basis for its logging system.

• Understanding Log Messages and Their Categories

  System logging messages typically pertain to startup; logging management; connection and system membership; distribution; or cache, region, and entry management.

• Naming, Searching, and Creating Log Files

  The best way to manage and understand the logs is to have each member log to its own files.

• Configuring Logging

  You configure logging in a member’s gemfire.properties or at startup with gfsh.

• Configuring Log4j 2 for VMware GemFire

  Basic Tanzu GemFire logging configuration is configured using the gemfire.properties file. This topic is intended for advanced users who need increased control over logging due to integration with third-party libraries.
