Configuring the Controller logging

You can configure the Controller logging settings by setting environment variables on the system where you installed the Controller. The following table describes the environment variable settings you can use to configure the Controller logging.

Environment variable name	Default value	Description
CONSOLE_OUT_FILTER_ON_MATCH	`deny`	Specifies the threshold filter for log messages that are written to the console. By default, the setting of `deny` specifies that the log messages are not printed to the console. The valid values for this variable are `deny`, `neutral`, and `accept`. For more information about these values, see the Apache Logging Services Log4j manual for configuring filters.
LOG_FILE_FILTER_ON_MATCH	`neutral`	Specifies the threshold filter for log file messages. By default, the setting of `neutral` specifies that the messages are printed to the log file. Setting this variable to `deny` disables logging to file.
SCANCENTRAL_LOG_LEVEL	`info`	Specifies the log level for OpenText ScanCentral SAST. For more information about log levels, see the Apache Logging Services Log4j website.
SCANCENTRAL_SPRING_LOG_LEVEL	`warn`	Specifies the log level for Spring. For more information about log levels, see the Apache Logging Services Log4j website.
SCANCENTRAL_HIBERNATE_LOG_LEVEL	`warn`	Specifies the log level for Hibernate. For more information about log levels, go to the Apache Logging Services Log4j website.
SCANCENTRAL_LOG_FILE_SIZE	`20MB`	Specifies the maximum size for the log file. If the log file reaches this size, the log file is archived and a new log file is created.
SCANCENTRAL_ARCHIVED_LOGS_NUMBER	`20`	Specifies the maximum number of log files that are archived before new log files start replacing the oldest log files.
SCANCENTRAL_LOGS_FOLDER	`${sys:catalina.base}/logs`	Specifies the location of OpenText ScanCentral SASTController log folder.
