By default, whenever you deploy a Cloudhouse Alchemy Compatibility Package using Cloudhouse.Container.Deployment.exe, the Deployment Log DeploymentWorkflowLog.txt is created in the same folder that the Compatibility Package is being deployed from.
The log is also output to the console at the same time.
The configuration of the Deployment log file and its behaviour is controlled via the Cloudhouse.container.deployment.exe.config configuration file, found in the source Compatibility Package.
Note
The configuration file contains the recommended settings for a Compatibility Package, but you can modify this file to control the behaviour of logging, as detailed in Configuring Logging for an Alchemy Compatibility Package.
Log Format
The entries in the DeploymentWorkflow.txt are formatted as follows:
%Date% %LogLevel% %Component% - %Message%"
where:
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | Date and time the log file entry was written. |
| LogLevel | Defines the type of log entry:
|
| Component | The area the log line relates to. For example, “ServicesComponent” relates to information about Services. |
| Message | The message associated with the log line. |
For example:
2023-01-10 17:16:48,592 INFO ServicesComponent - Starting service installation.
Where:
- 2023-01-10 17:16:48,592 - is the Date and Time the message was written.
- INFO - is the log level.
- ServicesComponent - is the relevant Component
- Starting service installation - is the message.
Warning
By default, INFO logs are created during deployment. Setting the log level to DEBUG increases the verbosity of the logs and should only be used during troubleshooting.
See the Configuring DEBUG Logging section of Configuring Logging for Alchemy Compatibility Packages.
