PH60243: SETTING THE CMGRLOG LEVEL OF LOGGING TO "FAILURES" INCORRECTLY ENABLED ALL CONNECTION MANAGER LOGGING

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Setting the Logging settings of log --> cmgrlog --> level to
  "failures" in the values.yaml file, incorrectly enabled all IBM
  Transformation Extender Container Connections Manager logging.
  
  This setting in the values.yaml file:
  
  # Logging settings
    log:
      includeHostInLogNames: true
      jniLog:
        # Supported levels are "none", "failures", "info" and
  "all". Default is "none".
        level: "failures"
      cmgrLog:
        # Supported levels are "none", "failures", "info" and
  "all". Default is "none".
        level: "failures"
  
  Results in the dtx.ini file setting all the Connection Manager
  logging to be on:
  [Connections Manager]
  LogTrace=1
  LogDebug=1
  LogInfo=1
  LogWarning=1
  LogError=1
  LogFatal=1
  DebugName=/logs/node1.cmgr.log
  
  When the intent is for:[Connections Manager]
  LogTrace=0
  LogDebug=0
  LogInfo=0
  LogWarning=0
  LogError=1
  LogFatal=1
  DebugName=/logs/node1.cmgr.log
  
  This results in excessive logging resulting in a performance
  impact with map execution times.
