Configure IDOL Logs

By default, Find generates an idol-access.log file, and uses it to log all the actions it makes to IDOL component ACI and service ports. The log information includes: 

The log also shows requests that failed without returning a HTTP status code (for example, because the IDOL component was turned off or blocked by a firewall).

You can turn off IDOL logging by setting the idol.log.enabled system property. You can also turn off just the information about time taken to complete requests by setting the idol.log.timing.enabled system property.

To turn off IDOL logging

To turn off timing information in the IDOL logs

If you run Find as a service on Windows, you can also add the idol.log.enabled and idol.log.timing.enabled properties to the find.xml file.

If you run Find as a service on Linux, you can add the argument to the existing arguments variable in find.sh for SysV, or find.conf for Upstart.

When you modify the Find configuration by modifying the XML file or start scripts, you must restart Find to apply your configuration changes.

Use an Action ID

You can optionally configure Find to send an action ID to IDOL with each request, which can help with tracking and troubleshooting.

When you enable action IDs, Find generates the action ID with a UUID and a prefix that you can configure. The default prefix is Find-. For example, Find-b17a4a79-b3ed-4706-80a6-06404140e815.

To use an action ID in IDOL requests

If you run Find as a service on Windows, you can also add the idol.log.actionid.enabled and idol.log.actionid.prefix properties to the find.xml file.

If you run Find as a service on Linux, you can add the argument to the existing arguments variable in find.sh for SysV, or find.conf for Upstart.

When you modify the Find configuration by modifying the XML file or start scripts, you must restart Find to apply your configuration changes.
