Remarks

The distributor can maintain various levels of logging to keep track of notification delivery information. This information is important when troubleshooting notification delivery issues, or in applications where notification delivery must be guaranteed and audited. Use the DistributorLogging section of the ApplicationExecutionSettings element to configure distributor logging. For more information, see Configuring Distributor Logging.

All of the DistributorLogging child elements are optional. If you do not specify any distributor logging options, exclude the DistributorLogging element from the ADF.

Example

The following example shows DistributorLogging settings. It specifies that the distributor logs all notification predelivery information and notification delivery status, but does not log the notification text itself.

<DistributorLogging>
    <LogBeforeDeliveryAttempts>true</LogBeforeDeliveryAttempts>
    <LogStatusInfo>true</LogStatusInfo>
    <LogNotificationText>false</LogNotificationText>
</DistributorLogging>
