Logging
This extension makes use of the Logging system introduced in TYPO3 CMS 6.0. It is far more flexible than the old one writing to the "sys_log" table. Technical details may be found in the TYPO Core API documentation.
As an administrator, what you should know is that the TYPO3 Logger forwards log records to "Writers", which persist the log record.
By default, with a vanilla TYPO3 installation, messages are written to the
default log file (typo3temp/
).
Dedicated log file for the extraction of metadata
If you want to redirect every logging information from this extension to
typo3temp/
and send log entries with level "WARNING" or
above to the system log, you may add following configuration to
typo3conf/
:
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['LOG']['Causal']['Extractor']['writerConfiguration'] = [
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Log\LogLevel::DEBUG => [
'TYPO3\\CMS\\Core\\Log\\Writer\\FileWriter' => [
'logFile' => 'typo3temp/logs/metadata.log'
],
],
// Configuration for WARNING severity, including all
// levels with higher severity (ERROR, CRITICAL, EMERGENCY)
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Log\LogLevel::WARNING => [
'TYPO3\\CMS\\Core\\Log\\Writer\\SyslogWriter' => [],
],
];
Hint
Be sure to read Configuration of the Logging System to fine-tune your configuration on any production website.
