In the ‘Run Workspace Dialog, there is a ‘Log Debug’ option under ‘Advanced’ settings here:

 

 

Why isn’t there an option to enable this ‘Log Debug’ in Automations when configuring the ‘Action>Run Workspace’ interface? I need debug logging details to run my automation in ‘production’ mode. It’s not honoring the logging setting when I published from FME Form. Shouldn’t the option be here: 

 

My ultimate goal is to have log files from workspaces ran within Automation have full debug logging enabled.

Is there some setting in a config file I can change?

Version: FME Form/Flow 2024.1.1.0 (Build 24619)

Update/Additional information:

I went into the following messagelogger.properties files and changed the ‘DEBUG_LEVEL’ from ‘NONE’ to all the other options (i.e. LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, SUPER_VERBOSE) and no change to log file for workspaces ran via an Automation. 

Paths for files:

  1. ...\Server\config\logger\core
  2. ...\Server\config\logger\engine
  3. ...\Utilities\config

We have a distributed Engine and I changed the messagelogger.properties file on that machine as well.

Are there any other config files that I might be missing to enable DEBUG_LEVEL logging on all workspaces ran via Automations? 


Hi Mark,

It looks like "log debug” couldn’t be added to Automations because of another requirement blocking it. So there won’t be any way to get debug logging at the present time.

Although I certainly can’t guarantee anything, the good news is that the requirement is marked as a high priority and scheduled for 2025. So I am hopeful of an update soon.

If you do need to follow up directly with support at any point, the issue number to quote to them is FMEFLOW-23278.

Thanks @mark2atsafe for the update. Will work on a plan B.


I have workspaces running within automations in Flow 2024.1 that do have debug logging enabled, but they’ve been migrated as is from an earlier version. 

 

If triggered directly, these workspaces also run in debug mode even if the radio button under advanced settings is set to off. 

 

I’ve been able to identify them by reading the .fmw files as text and looking for this line
