Title: Controlling log settings - how do I?
Post by: MartinMueller2003 on August 04, 2020, 05:06:58 AM

I am working on a ZCPP change for the ESPixelStick. Trying to teach xLights that the ESP has more than one output port. While doing this I would like xLights to give me more information. To start with I want to change the current logging.

What I have is (log_zcpp) :
ALERT CRIT EMERG ERROR FATAL NOTICE WARN
and I would like them to be:
ALERT CRIT DEBUG EMERG ERROR FATAL INFO NOTICE WARN

Does anyone know how to do this without recompiling xLights?

Not sure how to change the level but Keith might know if its possible.  The package is called Log4cpp if you want to research online docs.

Edit the xlights.windows.properties file. It is in the install folder.

If playing with zcpp you should also check out the spec which is in the root folder of the xlights github repo.
