Log Level

Use this property to enable or disable logging in the connector and to specify the amount of detail included in log files.

Important:
  • Only enable logging long enough to capture an issue. Logging decreases performance and can consume a large quantity of disk space.
  • When logging with connection strings and DSNs, this option only applies to per-connection logs.

Set the property to one of the following values:

  • OFF0: Disable all logging.
  • FATAL1: Logs severe error events that lead the connector to abort.
  • ERROR2: Logs error events that might allow the connector to continue running.
  • WARNING3: Logs events that might result in an error if action is not taken.
  • INFO4: Logs general information that describes the progress of the connector.
  • DEBUG5: Logs detailed information that is useful for debugging the connector.
  • TRACE6: Logs all connector activity.

When logging is enabled, the connector produces the following log files at the location you specify in the Log Path (LogPath) property:

  • A simbaprestoodbcdriver.log file that logs connector activity that is not specific to a connection.
  • A simbaprestoodbcdriver_connection_[Number].log file for each connection made to the database, where [Number] is a number that identifies each log file. This file logs connector activity that is specific to the connection.
