MCF logging

If you want to have additional information about MCF, you can activate specific logs thanks to the global properties.

Simply add the properties in $MCF_HOME/mcf_home/properties-global.xml that you want to add to extend the original manifoldcf.log file :

nano /opt/datafari/mcf/mcf_home/properties-global.xml

<property name="org.apache.manifoldcf.connectors" value="DEBUG"/>

Then open a bash into the MCF_HOME directory and launch the following command as the 'datafari' user :

bash setglobalproperties.sh 

You also need to edit the file log4j2.properties in the tomcat-mcf folder :

nano /opt/datafari/tomcat-mcf/conf/log4j2.properties.xml

Then change the level of the ManifoldCF logger : info to debug :

<!-- ManifoldCF logger -->
<Logger name="org.apache.manifoldcf" level="debug" additivity="false">
<AppenderRef ref="Manifold"/>
</Logger>

Then you need to restart Datafari (or only the Tomcat-MCF and the MCF agent).

The logs are now visible in /opt/datafari/logs : manifoldcf-webservices.log and manifoldcf.log

The exact list is on the MCF documentation.
