Chapter 6 Logging
Overview
HydraExpress provides two types of loggers: its primary Agent global logger, and a Web services-specific logger, each with a specific use:
• Use the Agent logger to log events from services, connectors, transports, and handlers. It is not available to client-side applications or standalone servers.
• Use the Web services logger to log events from a client or a standalone server. While this logger is also available to server-side code, we recommend using the Agent logger for services.
NOTE >> The Agent logger is not available to services hosted outside the Agent.
This chapter discusses the Agent logger in detail (
“The Agent Logger” ), and includes an introduction to using the Web services logger in client applications (
“The Web Services Logger for Client Applications” ). For a detailed look at the Web services logger, see
Chapter 12, “Web Service Logging,” in the HydraExpress Web Service Development Guide.
