ADK (iOS) logging question
I assume we should use SERVER for production ADK logging, but run into some quesitons on clarification on different level, especially relate to crash report and memory events:
- Understanding
- [Documentation] You must use the cpwrUEM_logging.level instrumentation key to enable automatic logging
- We currently set the app has set the cpwrUEM_logging.level to SEVERE
- Questions
-
- What information is automatically logged for each log level (ALL, FINEST, FINER, FINE, CONFIG, INFO, WARNING, SEVERE, OFF)?
- We will need to understand this inorder to set the correct log level, which may be different per configuration. For example, which log level captures low memory events?
- We should also determine how to smoke test this in each environment.
- How is SEVERE different from crash reports?
Best Answer
cpwrUEM_logging.level is generally used for debugging purposes only.
It controls only how much the ADK writes to the console log, not the amount of data collected and reported to the Dynatrace server. When you publish your app to the App Store, it is recommended that you minimize the amount of console logging done. I would recommend SEVERE or OFF.
This will not affect your crash reporting at all. That is an entirely different mechanism. If crash reporting is on, you will get the full crash report regardless of how your logging levels are set.
There is currently no ADK mechanism to capture low memory events, though we are considering this as a feature in future releases.
This only relates to logging mobile agent internals. Usually it is not required and you can leave it as it is (OFF). THe only time to change it is when Dynatrace support tells you to.
