Log4j2

SNDML3 uses Apache Log4j2 for logging. Sample Log4J2 configuration files can be found in the directory /src/test/resources.

For debugging, use the file log4j2-debug.xml. This file writes detailed diagnostic information to an external log file, the name of which is passed in via the system property logFileName. For example,

logfile=/tmp/sndml3.log
log4jconfig=src/test/resources/log4j-debug.xml
java -ea -Dlog4j.configurationFile=$log4jconfig -DlogFileName=$logfile -jar ...

If you are using a Log4j Pattern Layout, then the following MDC variables are available:

Name	Description
%X{table}	Name of the ServiceNow table being accessed (source)
%X{job}	Name of the table loader (name) or the target table (target). For --daemon or --scan this will be the job run number.
%X{uri}	URI of the REST, SOAP or JSONv2 API
%X{method}	Name of the HTTP method (e.g. GET, PUT, POST) or the SOAP method (e.g. getKeys, getRecords, update)

%marker will be set to one of the following values

• INIT
• FINISH
• SCHEMA
• REQUEST
• RESPONSE
• BIND
• PROCESS
• TEST
