Configuring the Talend Data Preparation log files

To configure the settings of your log files, edit the <Data_Preparation_Path>/config/application.properties file.

Specifiy patterns for your logs by using logging.pattern.<file|console> properties. These properties use a logback style pattern. The default logging pattern is logging.pattern.level=%5p [user %X{user}], which displays the log level information, and the user's ID.

For more information, see the documentation on Logback pattern layouts.

Let's take the example of the following pattern, that will apply to the log files but not the console:

logging.pattern.file=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{15} - %msg %n

The output in the log file will look like this:

2017-02-21 11:07:03.741 [main] DEBUG c.l.TrivialMain - hello world number1
