Logging#

Logging is performed via the Log4j logging service.

The log4j.properties determines what values show in what files. As provided, almost no error messages are presented on the console. If you are having problems with the application or troubleshooting issue check the debug.log file.

You can modify the log4j.properties file within the directory that the DumpPasswordInformation.jar is run from to suit your needs.

• The info log file will contain the "Clean" text output as the older versions.
• The Verbose and Debug options effect only the console and Screen outputs.
• The Verbose output is always in the warn log file
• The debug log will contain the most intense logging and is always in the debug log.
• Screen output is controlled by verbose and debug selection.
• Advanced Properties - We added some advanced features. See Advanced Properties

log4j.properties#

We just know some of you will work with the properties file directly and you may get messed up. Here is the base file:

log4j.threshold=ALL

log4j.rootLogger=ALL, DebugAppender, InfoAppender, WarnAppender,ErrorAppender

# Comment the line above and uncomment  the following to send very detailed output to the debug to console
