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 “Web Service Logging,” in the HydraExpress Web Service Development Guide.
