WebSphere Partner Gateway - Recommended Logging level for production deployments

Troubleshooting


Problem

When deployment is running with heavy load of transactions, performance degradation may be seen. You may minimize the amount of information logged for better performance.

Resolving The Problem

For Production deployment or systems running under heavy load, you can adjust logging level for the WPG application servers, to minimize negative impact on performance caused by the amount of the information logged.

The WPG default log level is *=info:com.ibm.bcg.*=severe. Irrespective of the default value of installation, recommend to put the trace statement *=fatal for best performance for production heavy loading environments. Setting deeper level of tracing on production only when required per business choice, or when explicitly asked by IBM Support for problem analysis.

*=info:com.ibm.bcg.*=severe (default)
*=info:com.ibm.bcg.*=finest (recommended for development environments)
*=fatal (recommended for production deployment or systems running under heavy load)
