| Property Group | Log File Management |
| Description | Indicates whether the log should be cryptographically signed so that the log content cannot be altered in an undetectable manner. Log file signatures can be validated using the validate-file-signature tool provided with the server. Note that when enabling signing for a logger that already exists and was enabled without signing, the first log file will not be completely verifiable because it will still contain unsigned content from before signing was enabled. Only log files whose entire content was written with signing enabled will be considered completely valid. For the same reason, if a log file is still open for writing, then signature validation will not indicate that the log is completely valid because the log will not include the necessary "end signed content" indicator at the end of the file. |
| Default Value | false |
| Allowed Values | true false |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | The Groovy Scripted File Based Error Log Publisher must be disabled and re-enabled for changes to this setting to take effect. In order for this modification to take effect, the component must be restarted, either by disabling and re-enabling it, or by restarting the server |
| Property Group | Log File Management |
| Description | Indicates whether log files should be encrypted so that their content is not available to unauthorized users. If this property is configured with a value of true, then log data will be encrypted using a key generated from an encryption settings definition. If the encryption-settings-definition-id property has a value, then the specified encryption settings definition will be used; otherwise, the server's preferred encryption settings definition will be used. For best compatibility, you should use an encryption settings definition that was created from a user-supplied passphrase, so that passphrase can be used to decrypt its content. If this property is configured with a value of false, then log data will not be encrypted. Encrypted log files can be decrypted on the command line with the encrypt-file tool (using the --decrypt argument). Encrypted log files can be accessed programmatically using the com.unboundid.util.PassphraseEncryptedInputStream class in the UnboundID LDAP SDK for Java. If a log file is to be encrypted, then you will also likely want to enable compression (by giving the compression-mechanism property a value of 'gzip'). This will reduce the amount of data that needs to be encrypted, and will also dramatically reduce the size of the log files that are generated. |
| Default Value | false |
| Allowed Values | true false |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | The Groovy Scripted File Based Error Log Publisher must be disabled and re-enabled for changes to this setting to take effect. In order for this modification to take effect, the component must be restarted, either by disabling and re-enabling it, or by restarting the server |
encryption-settings-definition-id
| Property Group | Log File Management |
| Description | Specifies the ID of the encryption settings definition that should be used to encrypt the data. If this is not provided, the server's preferred encryption settings definition will be used. The "encryption-settings list" command can be used to obtain a list of the encryption settings definitions available in the server. |

| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
| Property Group | Log Messages To Include |
| Description | Specifies the default severity levels for the logger. |
| Default Value | fatal-error severe-warning severe-error |
| Allowed Values | all - Messages of all severity levels are logged. none - No messages of any severity are logged by default. This value is intended to be used in conjunction with the override-severity property to define an error logger that will publish no error message beside the errors of a given category. fatal-error - The error log severity that is used for messages that provide information about fatal errors which may force the server to shut down or operate in a significantly degraded state. info - The error log severity that is used for messages that provide information about significant events within the server that are not warnings or errors. mild-error - The error log severity that is used for messages that provide information about mild (recoverable) errors encountered during processing. mild-warning - The error log severity that is used for messages that provide information about mild warnings triggered during processing. notice - The error log severity that is used for the most important informational messages (i.e., information that should almost always be logged but is not associated with a warning or error condition). severe-error - The error log severity that is used for messages that provide information about severe errors encountered during processing. severe-warning - The error log severity that is used for messages that provide information about severe warnings triggered during processing. debug - The error log severity that is used for messages that provide debugging information triggered during processing. |
| Multi-Valued | Yes |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
| Property Group | Log Messages To Include |
| Description | Specifies the override severity levels for the logger based on the category of the messages. Each override severity level should include the category and the severity levels to log for that category, for example, core=mild-error,info,mild-warning. Valid categories are: core, extensions, protocol, config, log, util, schema, plugin, jeb, backend, tools, task, access-control, admin, replication, version, quicksetup, admin-tool, dsconfig, user-defined. Valid severities are: all, fatal-error, info, mild-error, mild-warning, notice, severe-error, severe-warning, debug. |
| Default Value | All messages with the default severity levels are logged. |
| Allowed Values | A string in the form category=severity1,severity2... |

| Default Value | None |
| Allowed Values | The DN of any Error Log Publisher Message Exclusion Policy. |
| Multi-Valued | Yes |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
compression-mechanism (Advanced Property, Read-Only)
| Property Group | Log File Management |
| Description | Specifies the type of compression (if any) to use for log files that are written. Note that this setting cannot be changed once the logger has been created, because of the possibility of mixing compressed and uncompressed data in the same file. Further, because it is difficult to append to a compressed file, any existing active log file will automatically be rotated when the server is started. If compressed logging is used, it may also be desirable to have another logger enabled that does not use compression. The rotation and retention policies for the uncompressed logger can be configured to minimize the amount of space it consumes, but having ready access to information about recent operations in uncompressed form may be convenient for debugging purposes. Alternately, you could consider having the uncompressed logger defined but not enabled so that it can be turned on as needed for debugging such problems. |
| Default Value | none |
| Allowed Values | none - No compression will be performed. gzip - Compress file data using gzip with the default compression level. If this compression level is specified, then files will automatically be given a ".gz" extension. |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
asynchronous (Advanced Property)
| Property Group | Other Configuration |
| Description | Indicates whether the Scripted File Based Error Log Publisher will publish records asynchronously. |
| Default Value | true |
| Allowed Values | true false |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
auto-flush (Advanced Property)
| Property Group | Other Configuration |
| Description | Specifies whether to flush the writer after every log record. If the asynchronous writes option is used, the writer is flushed after all the log records in the queue are written. |
| Default Value | true |
| Allowed Values | true false |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
buffer-size (Advanced Property)
| Property Group | Other Configuration |
| Description | Specifies the log file buffer size. |
| Default Value | 64kb |
| Allowed Values | A positive integer representing a size. Lower limit is 1. |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
queue-size (Advanced Property)
| Property Group | Other Configuration |
| Description | The maximum number of log records that can be stored in the asynchronous queue. The server will continuously flush messages from the queue to the log. That is, it does not wait for the queue to fill up before flushing to the log. Lowering this value can impact performance. |
| Default Value | 10000 |
| Allowed Values | An integer value. Lower limit is 1000. Upper limit is 100000 . |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | The Scripted File Based Error Log Publisher must be restarted if this property is changed and the asynchronous property is set to true. |
time-interval (Advanced Property)
| Property Group | Other Configuration |
| Description | Specifies the interval at which to check whether the log files need to be rotated. |
| Default Value | 5s |
| Allowed Values | A duration. Lower limit is 1 milliseconds. |
