Logging

AppBuilder provides logging features that you can leverage to enable or disable logging and customize log levels, log file size, and backup.

AppBuilder logs are generated in the <AppBuilder_Home>\ares-project\logs\appbuilder.log file. Settings for the appbuilder.log file are managed in the ide.json script file in the <AppBuilder_Home>\ares-project directory. By modifying the ide.json, you can customize how AppBuilder logs information. To enable or disable logging in AppBuilder:
  1. Navigate to <AppBuilder_Home>\ares-project\ and open the ide.json file with a text editor.
    • Change "enabled": "true", to "enabled": "false", to disable logging. When you launch AppBuilder again, no entries will be made in appbuilder.log until you enable logging again.
    • Change "enabled": "false", to "enabled": "true", to enable logging. When you launch AppBuilder again, appbuilder.log will begin logging information according to the settings you have set in the ide.json file.
  2. Save your changes and exit the file.
You can also customize other logging features within AppBuilder by modifying additional settings in the ide.json file.
