GSLog - Scoped, Global

GSLog is a script include that simplifies script logging and debugging by implementing levels of log output, selectable by per-caller identified sys_properties values.

Logs generated using the GSLog API are logged in the System Logs. Specifically, you can find System Logs in the UI by navigating to All > System Logs > System Log. You can choose to view all logs or specific log types like Application Logs, Errors, Script Log Statements, and so on under this menu item. Filtering the Source column in the All logs view can help locate your entries faster.

Logs can be at the level of debug, info, notice, warning, err, or crit (after BSD syslog.h and followers). The default logging level is notice, so levels should be chosen accordingly.

Use for any server-side script where you want to implement event logging.

For more information, see Debugging scripts.

GSLog – GSLog()

Instantiates a GSLog object.

var gl = new GSLog("com.snc.sla.tasksla.log", "TaskSLA");

GSLog – debugOn()

Determines if debug is turned on.

var gl = new GSLog("com.snc.sla.tasksla.log", "TaskSLA"); 
gl.setLevel("debug");
gs.print(gl.debugOn());

Output:

*** Script : true

GSLog – getLevel(String level)

Returns the log level.

var gl = new GSLog("com.snc.sla.tasksla.log", "TaskSLA"); 
gl.setLevel("debug");
gs.print(gl.getLevel());

Output:

*** Script: debug

GSLog – initialize(String traceProperty, String caller)

Called by the Prototype JavaScript Framework during object creation to initialize a new instance of this class. Provide the input parameters, but do not call this method directly.

var gl = new GSLog("com.snc.sla.tasksla.log", "TaskSLA");

GSLog – log(String level, String msg)

Logs a message at the specified level.

var gl = new GSLog("com.snc.sla.tasksla.log", "TaskSLA"); 
gl.log("debug", "debug message");

Logs alert events.

var gl = new GSLog("com.snc.sla.tasksla.log", "TaskSLA"); 
gl.logAlert("This is an alert");

Output:

*** Script [TaskSLA]: This is an alert

GSLog – logCrit(String msg)

GSLog – logDebug(String msg)

Logs debug events.

var gl = new GSLog("com.snc.sla.tasksla.log", "TaskSLA"); 
gl.logDebug("This is a debug message");

*** Script [TaskSLA]: This is a debug message

GSLog – logEmerg(String msg)

Logs emergency events.

var gl = new GSLog("com.snc.sla.tasksla.log", "TaskSLA"); 
gl.logEmerg("This is an emergency message");

Output:

*** Script  [TaskSLA ] : This is an emergency message

GSLog – logErr(String msg)

Logs error events.

var gl = new GSLog("com.snc.sla.tasksla.log", "TaskSLA"); 
gl.logErr("This is an error message");

Output:

*** Script [TaskSLA]: This is an error message

GSLog – logInfo(String msg)

Logs information events.

var gl = new GSLog("com.snc.sla.tasksla.log", "TaskSLA"); 
gl.logInfo("This is an info message");

GSLog – logNotice(String msg)

Logs notice events.

var gl = new GSLog("com.snc.sla.tasksla.log", "TaskSLA"); 
gl.logNotice("This is a notice");

GSLog – logWarning(String msg)

Logs warning events.

var gl = new GSLog("com.snc.sla.tasksla.log", "TaskSLA"); 
gl.logWarning("This is a warning message");

Output:

*** Script [TaskSLA]: This is a warning message

GSLog – setLevel(String level)

Sets the log level.

var gl = new GSLog("com.snc.sla.tasksla.log", "TaskSLA"); 
gl.setLevel("debug");
