Write to log
Usage
| Be careful when writing variables or fields for (unencrypted) passwords or other sensitive information to the Hop logging system! |
If no fields are added in the Write to log Fields list, it will write out all fields to the log if a Basic Log level is specified. If fields are added to Fields list it will only print out those field(s). Parameters and variables must be specified in the Log message section.
A Logging level must be set. Set the Log detail level to Basic if you want variables to be printed out.
Example to print a parameter or variable in the Log Message section: COUNTER: ${myCounter}
If a data row does not exist containing fields, logging fields, parameters, or variables will not work. You may use a "Generate rows" transform to create a dummy row in order to print variables or parameters.
| If an error stops anything from being written to the log, then disable the Hops that fail, and add logging just before the failure, and re-run. |
