Changing the log level of your loader controller log file

If your plc log file does not cover enough detail or covers too much, use the loader controller client tool to dynamically change the log level of the log file.

About this task

If you restart the plc service, the log level of your plc log file will be set back to the default level. To retain your new log level, change the default level of your plc log file.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the following directory:
    • Linux®: $EGO_TOP/perf/version_number/bin
    • Windows: Installation_top\perf\version_number\bin
  2. Launch the loader controller client tool with the -l option:
    • In Linux run plcclient.sh -l log_level.
    • In Windows, run plcclient.bat -l log_level.

    In decreasing level of detail, the log levels are ALL (for all messages), DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL, and OFF (for no messages).
