Configuring Integration Event Logging

When an integration runs, the Integration Service automatically logs simplified messages about integration events to a "message log" table in the BarTender System Database (you can view these messages in History Explorer), and it logs more complete information about integration events (such as variable values and actions) to an "integration message log" table in the BarTender System Database. You can view these events on the Message History page in the Integrations section of Administration Console.

This more complete information is needed when you play back an integration or action, but it can take up a lot of disk space (you can view disk space usage in the BarTender System Database Size dialog).

If you do not need to log all of this information, you can save disk space by using the features in the Integration Event Logging area of the System Database page to specify the types of integration events that you want to be logged or whether you want any logging at all to occur to the "integration message log" table of the system database.

ClosedTo configure integration event logging

  1. In Administration Console, click System Database in the left navigation pane to open the System Database page.

  2. In the Integration Event Logging section of the page, configure the options that you want, as follows:

    • To turn off integration event logging, clear the Log integration events check box. When you do this, no new event records are shown on the Message History page.

    • To log only a record that an event occurred, select Log integration events only.

    • To log the values for the variables that are used by each event, select Log integration events and Include variable values for each event.

    • To log only failed integration events (meaning events in which an error occurred), select Log integration events and Failed integrations only.

    • To log only a record that an event and an action occurred, select Log integration events and Log actions only.

    • To log the values for the variables that are used by each action, select Log actions and Include variable values for each event.

    • To log actions for only failed integration events (meaning events in which an error occurred), select Log actions and Failed integrations only.

  3. Click Apply to apply the settings. Alternatively, click OK to apply the settings and close Administration Console.
