Overview

This proposal enhances the Server Error and Trace logs to include more detailed information about server operations.

Motivation

The MapGuide Server is a very complicated application and the current logs provide insufficient detail to determine the root cause of issues on production servers. The proposed functionality enhances the core framework so that additional logging information can be added over a period time.

Proposed Solution

Implement a classification system for log details controlled by a LogsDetail parameter in serverconfig.ini:

[GeneralProperties]
LogsDetail = ResourceService:0,FeatureService:1,RenderingService:2,MappingService:3
