Metadata and ObjectSpawner log record headers ?

Acf2 — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 22:35:12 GMT

Is there an official definition of the record headers in Metadata and ObjectSpawner logs ?

What is the incrementing number in [] here ? :

2024-09-16T02:29:38,591 INFO [00000003] ... Rest of line follows

It behaves like an Event id but sometimes the number near the top of the log will appear much further down and later .

I am trying to trace significant variations in Workspace server startup times between EG and SAS/Studio.

If you look in the SAS servers logconfig.xml file e.g. /opt/sas94m8/config/Lev1/SASMeta/MetadataServer/logconfig.xml you will see a ConversionPattern line like follows:

The item you are asking about is %t which is documented in the SAS 9.4 Logging: Configuration and Programming Reference, t Conversion Character section at https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/logug/n1p9fotibfkw4en11pdrjiu32a84.htm as "the identifier of the thread that generated the log event." I don't consider the value itself to be meaningful but that log lines with the same thread id come from the same process/thread.

Thanks Paul. That is exactly what I was looking for. I have modified logconfig.xml previously but it was trial and error.
