Logging for AEM 6.0

Avatar

Level 2

Hi all,

I started writing a custom step workflow to clear the apache cache. I have a few questions as I am finding really hard to find good documentation about it.

1 - Where can I see the logs for the workflow? I tried adding configuration to the Apache Sling Logging Logger Configuration but nothing is coming out in the logs (It's set to debug) I am looking at error.log btw.

2 - Where can I find development based examples for custom workflows? I am working with AEM 6.0 but even 6.4 would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,

Filipe

You can setup a DEBUG logger on the following classes to capture more information related to workflows:

com.adobe.granite.workflow.core.WorkflowSessionImpl

com.adobe.granite.workflow.core.job

Check [1] for more details on how to write custom workflows

That being said, AEM 6.0 is no longer supported by Adobe and you should be looking at upgrading to the latest version asap.

to check the logs - please configure the log under system/console click on a sling and then sling log.

create a new log and provide your workflow class. select the log as Debug.

that file will be created in your log folder under quickstart.

if still, the logs are coming then something is a problem with your workflow class. then try to put the logs in initial level and see if the logs are coming in a file.

try to set it to info and error as well. and check whats happening.
