SAS Logging Facility Configuration File

XML Configuration File

The following SAS logging facility configuration file represents a possible SAS logging facility XML configuration, which contains specifications for the ARM appender. The file is customized using standard XML language syntax, and includes the following definitions or parameters:

<appender> statement: creates an instance of an appender
<logger> statement: creates a named logger to receive SAS logging facility events
<root> statement: by default, a root logger is required and it receives all SAS logging facility messages
<appender-ref> statement: references an appender, used in a <logger> or <appender> definition
<param> statement: optional parameter definitions for an appender, can be used for unique appender options or output format specifications
Class="<value>" statement: defines a type of appender, such as FileAppender or ARMAppender
%d, %c, %m, %X specifications: optional pattern conversion specifiers that map to the SAS logging facility values; see SAS Logging: Configuration and Programming Reference for a complete range and description of format specifiers.

Note: XML is case sensitive. [cautionend]
