Using the SAS Logging Facility and the ARM Appender :: SAS(R) 9.4 Interface to Application Response Measurement (ARM): Reference

The SAS logging facility provides greater flexibility and control for processing the ARM log, tracing, and providing better diagnostic messages. The SAS logging facility incorporates the ARM appender, which is configured and customized using the SAS logging facility. The primary role of the ARM appender is:

capture ARM transaction events
process the events
route the events to an appropriate output destination
emit ARM 4.0 compatible events
