SMILA/Specifications/UsefulLogMessages
Current Problems
- To much Information in the log
File EILF.log where registers a log information for Smila contains too much not the helpful information. Most of all messages arrives from debug. For example, at indexation of file EILF logging file has 33 000 lines, the majority from which a extracted context. To search for the necessary information not so conveniently. For example, at indexation of file EILF (for xml files ) EILF.log has 33 000 lines, the majority from which a extracted context. Today it is easy to get lost and not to find the necessary records in a pack of messages. The surplus information litters the log.
- Messages do not correspond to the level
From Short introduction to log4j: INFO - for the "high level" information; DEBUG - only for the software developer interesting messages. Now in INFO is written to much information for developer.
For example this information is written down in INFO. Isn't that so here approaches DEBUG more?
- AddPipeline/extensionActivity-activity-line-36: found service MimeTypeIdentifier, processing request -> request
- AddPipeline/extensionActivity-activity-line-50: found service LuceneIndexService, processing request -> request
- AddPipeline/extensionActivity-activity-line-43: no pipelet configuration found.
- AddPipeline/extensionActivity-activity-line-43: found pipelet org.eclipse.eilf.processing.pipelets.aperture.AperturePipelet, processing request -> request
- DeletePipeline/extensionActivity-activity-line-36: found service LuceneIndexService, processing request -> request
- Initialization of BPEL engine successful
- Insufficiently informative messages of info level
This point is connected with the previous. Really, it would be desirable to receive "easier" information in INFO. Like as:
- Smila started successfully
- indexing file system AAA starting
- folter for (xml, txt, html)
- file A indexing successfully - updated
- file B indexing successfully - touched
- file C indexing successfully - deleted
... - Total indexing 421 files
- touched 400 files
- updated 10 files
- deleted 11 files
- indexing time 8909 ms
