General development tasks
Sending data from a plug-in to a log file
Call the
function of the IFmsServerContext class in a plug-in to send your custom messages to the log files.
log()
Plug-in log files are located in the RootInstall/logs directory and are named fileio.NN.log and authMessage.NN.log,
by default.
Note: The Access plug-in does not write any log files. There are no interfaces provided by the Access plug-in for logging.
The
function has an argument that specifies whether the log message should also be logged to the system log
log()
(Windows Event Viewer or Linux syslog). The default value is false. Excessive logging to the system log can cause
performance problems.
Edit the
section of the Server.xml configuration file (located in RootInstall/conf) to enable or disable each
Logging
log file. Edit the Logger.xml file (located in RootInstall/conf) to add or change the configuration information,
including the location and name of the log files. For detailed information, see the comments in the XML files.
Note: In addition to client connections, the Authorization plug-in logs the connections made when a server-side
Stream.play()
method is called. These connections are distinguished by the IP address 127.0.0.1 in the access.log files
and in the authEvent.log files.
Retrieving data from a configuration file
Call the
function of the IFmsServerContext class in an Authorization plug-in or a File plug-in to
getConfig()
retrieve custom data stored in the Server.xml configuration file. You can analyze this data in the plug-in to activate
different functionality in the plug-in, depending on the server configuration.
