Description:

What is the Log Service?

Resolution:

The Log Service is a generic service that can be used to record, filter and disseminate logging information in any CORBA system. This is an important facility for fault-tolerant distributed systems as logging is used to generate low level traces and messages that contain detailed information about program execution. This information can be used for debugging but as the software is deployed the Log Service can be used as an aid to system maintenance.

The OpenFusion Log Service is built on the Notification Service model to disseminate log records whilst adding administration, query and management functionality. Log records can be sent to interested consumers but are also stored using a wide range of persistence mechanisms. Each log record contains a unique record identifier, a time stamp and data of type any.
