3 Introduction 3 Introduction The logging system in EPiServer uses the log4net framework and we recommend that you read the introduction at the log4net web site, before reading this document. Logging Levels There are seven levels of logging that are assigned according to priority level, with OFF having the highest value and ALL the lowest value. OFF FATAL ERROR WARN INFO DEBUG ALL Enable Logging Logging is controlled from a configuration file named EPiServerlog.config and should be placed in the same directory as the application's web.config file. Why is the logging configuration not placed in web.config? The reason for this decision is that if you want to enable logging when the application has entered a bad state, you have to change and save the configuration file. If the information is in web.config, the Web application would be restarted when you save web.config, possibly clearing the cause for the problem that you wanted to log. Keeping the log configuration separate from web.config eliminates this problem. A typical log configuration file might look like this: <log4net> <appender name="errorappender" type="log4net.appender.fileappender" > <file value="c:\\episerverlog\\1\\monitor\\errorlog-file.txt" /> <appendtofile value="true" /> <layout type="log4net.layout.patternlayout"> <conversionpattern value="%d [%t] %l - %m%n" /> </layout> </appender> <appender name="statisticsappender" type="log4net.appender.rollingfileappender"> <file value="c:\\episerverlog\\1\\statistics\\episerverstatistics.log" /> <appendtofile value="true" /> <rollingstyle value="date" /> <layout type="log4net.layout.patternlayout"> <param name="conversionpattern" value="%d %m%n" /> </layout> </appender> <logger name="episerver.diagnostics.statisticslog"> <level value="info" />

4 4 TTLogging in EPiServer <appender-ref ref="statisticsappender" /> </logger> <root> <level value="warn" /> <appender-ref ref="errorappender" /> </root> </log4net> If you want to enable full logging, simply change the level value in the root tag to ALL. Note that this will give you a lot of data. Disable Logging There are two ways to disable active logging: 1. Set the level to OFF in EPiServerLog.config. 2. Remove the file and restart the Web site. This can be done by either resaving the system settings/web.config, killing the process or doing an iis-reset. It is not enough to just remove the file; the Web site must be restarted to disable logging. Site Information Logging The site information is primarily concerned with logging various problems and unusual events. Basically you should always monitor events with log level WARN and above. Events with lower levels are primarily intended to get information to track down specific errors and/or bugs. A developer might want to enable full logging to a RollingFileAppender (see the log4net documentation) in his development environment to be able to check what has happened in EPiServer in case a specific problem occurs but during regular production use, you would probably want to just monitor WARN events and higher. Exceptions will be logged with the complete stack trace to enable you to track down exception errors. Be aware that exceptions are expensive in terms of performance. You should avoid writing code that generates exceptions as part of the normal program flow. Statistics Logging EPiServer has one specific logger that generates output that can be used for statistics analysis similar to traditional Web log analysis. This is the EPiServer.Diagnostics.StatisticsLog. The reason for its existence is that a dynamic Web site may exhibit behavior different from a static Web. For example, when a person looks at the start page of an intranet site, he may be presented with a headline news item and two smaller product-related news items. The Web site owner may want to have information about the specific news items being read so this single start page hit should actually be counted as three separate content hits. The statistics logging function in EPiServer is designed to support such behavior. It should usually not be considered a replacement for the traditional IIS log file since the EPiServer log will not register information about GIF images or other static file accesses.

5 Statistics Logging 5 The log file format generated is non-standard and created to be quickly parsed without resorting to complicated algorithms. The format is one row per hit: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:SS,sss url hittype session sid pagelink username pagename YYYY MM DD HH mm SS sss url hittype session sid pagelink username pagename Year, month and day. The information is zero-padded. Month, zero-padded. 01 = January, 02=February etc. Day, zero-padded. Hours in 24 hour format, zero-padded. Minutes, zero-padded. Seconds, zero-padded. Milliseconds, zero-padded. The full URL of the request as received by EPiServer, including protocol and host information. Indicates the type of page view. Can be one of the following: Page Regular page view Content The indicated pagelink was displayed as part of another page. External Data external to EPiServer was displayed. File A static file was send to the client. A string identifying a unique session. If a session cannot be determined this string will be empty. The current implementation simply uses the session ID and thus relies on the session mechanism to be enabled. This is an implementation detail and may change in the future. An integer representing the user viewing the page. This maps directly to the SID (Security Identifier) used internally in EPiServer (not to be confused with SIDs in Windows). For non-authenticated users this SID will be 3 (= Anonymous). An integer representing the page ID. This field may be empty if hittype is External or File. The login name of the user viewing the page. For non-authenticated users this name will be Anonymous. The name of the current page as entered in edit mode. Some lines from a sample log file are displayed below: :53:12,815 Page g2zyua550v4ufq55n2obs1fk EP\magnuss Templates :53:16,987 Page g2zyua550v4ufq55n2obs1fk EP\magnuss Developer hints :53:24,815 Page g2zyua550v4ufq55n2obs1fk EP\magnuss Inspiration :53:30,705 Page g2zyua550v4ufq55n2obs1fk EP\magnuss News :53:32,815

In your event handler, you can then choose to output this information in a suitable format, maybe even use the logging functions since they provide a simple and high-performance way to log data. Some sample code to illustrate how to attach your event handler to such a logging function for this example it is placed in global.asax.cs: public class Global : EPiServer.Global { public Global() { InitializeComponent(); EPiServer.Diagnostics.StatisticsLog.Logging +=new EPiServer.Diagnostics.StatisticsEventHandler(StatisticsLog_Logging); } private void StatisticsLog_Logging(object sender, EPiServer.Diagnostics.StatisticsEventArgs e) { // Output information from e to the desired target } Another use for the Logging event would be to implement some type of information aggregation on-the-fly. The simplest possible example would be a page hit counter. Organizing Log File Storage For a production site, it is essential to have a policy regarding log files to avoid problems such as exposing log files on your Web site, filling up a system partition with log data etc. The EPiServer logging functions, with the exception of the EPiServer.Diagnostics.StatisticsLog, are intended to be used to monitor the health of your Web application and should under normal operation not cause excessive logging, as long as you do not enable logging of events below the WARN level. The following are our recommendations on how to store log files. Note that if you are using remoting, UDP appenders or any type of appender that does not write log files to the local drives, the actual storage of log data will probably not happen on the Web server, although other restrictions may apply. Note You must have at least write permission for the directory that you wish to log to for the account that you are using for your Web site.

7 Site Information Logging Reference 7 Where to Store Log Files Log files should be stored outside the folder structure exposed by the Web server. That is to say that if your EPiServer application is installed in the C:\Inetpub\EPiServerSite1 folder, you should not store your log files in the C:\Inetpub\EPiServerSite1\logs folder. This could (depending on Web server configuration and file access rights) expose your logs to any visitor to your Web site. Log files should not be stored on the system partition. If your Web server has the operating system installed on the C: drive, you should store the log files on another drive. Even though EPiServer's log functions should not cause large log files during normal operation, the log files may grow very large, if you enable full debugging. If the logging takes all free space on your system partition, you will experience all sorts of problems, most likely making your Web site unavailable until the situation has been resolved. We suggest that you store log files in the following structure (the illustration assumes that we have designated E: as the log storage partition). E:\EPiServerLog\ The root folder for EPiServer logs 1 Give each EPiServer application its unique folder Monitor Statistics A Monitor folder used to log warnings and errors, i e health monitoring logs. A Statistics folder that should be used if you choose to enable EPiServer's statistics logging. Site Information Logging Reference Every logging message has a unique identity in the form x.y.z to enable you to quickly determine the source of the message. This identity is hierarchical and based on the class structure in EPiServer. The list below lists all possible log information that EPiServer can generate as well as explanations and more information. 1 Top Class Level 1.1 Logger EPiServer.PageBase WARN Access denied The access denied method was called because the current user did not have access to the requested page WARN Loading page with wrong page template The page that was referenced by the ID parameter should not be displayed with the page template file named in the URL INFO Page initialized The page has been loaded and access has been verified. This is logged at the end of the PageBase.OnInit method DEBUG PageBase makes a permanent redirect to friendly URL from='<url> to= <url> A access is made directly to the page and a permanent redirect is done to the friendly URL for the page.

8 8 TTLogging in EPiServer 1.2 Logger EPiServer.Global DEBUG Enter Global constructor Entering the EPiServer.Global constructor. Logged before any actions are performed. Note that this may be entered into the log multiple times, but the Leave Global constructor message (1.2.2) should only be logged once per application startup. This is because the constructor is protected from multiple initializations DEBUG Leave Global constructor Leaving the Global constructor. See comments on INFO Authenticate request The Application_AuthenticateRequest event has been handled by EPiServer. If authentication is successful the Context.User should be set to the authenticated user ERROR - exception FormsAuthentication failed ERROR exception Unhandled exception in ASP.NET ERROR HttpApplication created without HttpContext INFO Precompilation reqluest for file X The FormsAuthentication_OnAuthenticate event failed with an exception. The exception is logged and program execution continues with User set to AnonymousUser. The HttpApplication.Error event has been raised and caught by EPiServer. The exception is logged and the error will be sent to the response stream if the current user has the required privileges to see runtime errors. This message indicates that EPiServer may not have been able to configure all its internal settings due to missing information about the web application at the time the GlobalBase class was created. This should never happen under IIS as the first HttpApplication s will be created by ASP.NET with a HttpContext, it can happen in design mode in Visual Studio.NET. Added in version 4.40 A precompilation request, as indicated by the query string parameter EP_PreCompile, was received for the url X. This means that the actual processing of the page will terminate immediately after precompilation, so no further execution takes place. 1.3 Logger EPiServer.LazyIndexer ERROR exception IndexPage failed for page X Some kind of error occurred when the LazyIndexer tried to index a page. Will append the ID of the page that failed. 1.4 Logger EPiServer.ApplicationConfiguration DEBUG Persist entered Will try to save EPiServer settings to web.config DEBUG Persist without a WindowsIdentity DEBUG Persist with a WindowsIdentity DEBUG Persist with a WindowsIdentity and impersonation DEBUG Persist with a WindowsIdentity and impersonation Trying to save the config file when logged on with a non-windows account. This may cause problems since the account might not have correct privileges to write the file. Trying to save the config file when loggen on with a Windows account. However no impersonation has been made. Trying to save the config file when loggen on with a Windows account and impersonating that user.

9 Site Information Logging Reference Logger EPiServer.GatlingCompatibility DEBUG Gatling compatibility enabled / disabled ERROR exception Failed to write registry data ERROR exception Failed to read registry data INFO EPiServer 3 cache management enabled Reports the state of the Gatling (i e EPiServer 3) compatibility flag. An exception was thrown in response to saving configuration data to the EPiServer 3 registry location. Usually caused by privilege problems. An exception was thrown in response to loading configuration data from the EPiServer 3 registry location. Usually caused by privilege problems. The GatlingCompatibility.InitializeCache method was called when EPiServer 3 compatibility was enabled. This has resulted in event handlers being attached to the global DataFactory instance to clear the EPiServer 3 cache as necessary. 1.6 Logger EPiServer.DataFactory ERROR exception Constructor without HttpContext The DataFactory constructor was called without having a valid HttpContext. This may cause problems with the upload directory settings WARN exception Access denined in GetDefaultPageData ERROR exception GetChildren failed Some kind of exception occurred when loading children ERROR exception GetPage failed DEBUG FindPagesWithCriteria enter DEBUG FindPagesWithCriteria leave INFO Version: {VersionID} Page: {PageID} was deleted by {User} INFO Page: {PageID}, with {n} children was deleted by {User} INFO The recycle bin was purged by {User} DEBUG Page: {PageID_of_1st_page} was deleted by {User}.. DEBUG Page: {PageID_of_{n}th_page} was deleted by {User} INFO Page: {PageID} was moved to the recycle bin by {User} The internal version number (i.e. not the one shown in the browser), page ID and the user who deleted (from the recycle bin) it, will be logged. The page ID, number of children, and the user who deleted (from the recycle bin) it, will be logged. Each time a user purges the recycle bin it is logged. The page ID, and the user who deleted it (from the recycle bin), will be logged. The page ID, and the user who moved the page to the recycle bin, will be logged. (If there are children, they will not be logged, since they are not deleted, only moved) WARN exception Access denied in CreateLanguageBranch INFO Page: {PageID} Language: {LanguageID} was deleted by user {User}
