Salesforce Developers B2C-Commerce-Developer Question # 12 Topic 2 Discussion

In order to view DEBUG level messages for the myLogCategory in the Request Log tool of Salesforce B2C Commerce, the developer will need to adjust both the log category settings and the log file settings, as detailed in option C.

Here’s why both adjustments are necessary:

Changing the Log Level for myLogCategory to DEBUG: Initially, the log level for myLogCategory is set to INFO as seen in the image. This means that only INFO and higher severity messages (WARN, ERROR, FATAL) will be logged under this category. To capture DEBUG messages, the log level must be explicitly set to DEBUG. This step ensures that DEBUG messages are generated and considered for logging.

Checking the DEBUG box in the Log Files section: This section controls which log levels are actually written to the log files. Even if DEBUG messages are generated (after adjusting the log level for myLogCategory), they won’t be written to the log files unless DEBUG is specifically selected in the Log Files settings. By default, only FATAL, ERROR, and WARN levels are selected to be written to files, as shown in the image. To include DEBUG messages in the logs, this setting must be adjusted to check the DEBUG box.

Both steps are necessary because one dictates the generation of DEBUG level logs (myLogCategory set to DEBUG), and the other dictates the persistence of these logs in the log files (checking the DEBUG box). If only one of these actions is performed, DEBUG messages for myLogCategory will not be fully enabled and viewable in the Request Log tool.

Therefore, the correct and complete action to take is option C: Change the Log Level for myLogCategory to DEBUG and check the DEBUG box in the Log Files section.
