Configuring ARM Logging in a Configuration File

Using the ARM interface, the SAS logging facility, and a configuration file, one or more logs can be created. Each log is a file appender that contains pattern layouts. The file appender is defined in the configuration file. The following syntax creates a file appender: 
<appender class="FileAppender" name="LOG">
          <param name="File" value="logs/trace.log"/>
          <param name="Append" value="false"/>
          <layout>
               <param name="ConversionPattern" 
                         value="%d %-5p [%t] %c (%F:%L) - %m"/>
          </layout>
</appender>
For more information about the configuration parameters in the file appender syntax, see ARM Appender Configuration Parameters.
A pattern layout is needed to create the output message format. 
    <layout>
              <param name="ConversionPattern"
                    value="%d,
                     %X{App.Name},
                     %X{ARM.GroupName},
                     %X{ARM.TranName},
                     %X{ARM.TranState},
                     %X{ARM.ParentCorrelator},
                     %X{ARM.CurrentCorrelator},
                     %X{ARM.TranStatus},
                     %X{ARM.TranStart.Time},
                     %X{ARM.TranStop.Time},
                     %X{ARM.TranResp.Time}
               "/>
          </layout>
For more information about pattern layouts, see ARM Appender Pattern Layouts for ARM Messages.
The following configuration file creates three logs: 
<?xml version=”1.0”?> 
<logging:configuration xmlns:log4sas="http://www.sas.com/xml/logging/1.0/"

<appender class="FileAppender" name="LOG">

                         value="%d %-5p [%t] %c (%F:%L) - %m"/>

Here are the three logs that are created by the configuration file (ARM2.LOG, ARM4.LOG, and TRACE.LOG):
