Logging Messages
If you are integrating with SoftBench and want to see actual message
formats, you can exercise SoftBench tools with SoftBench Message
Monitor running. Tools may send several messages for a single action,
filling the "Broadcast Message" area quickly. These messages can be
saved by logging them to a file.
Specifying a Log File
The log file can be specified by choosing "File: Set Logfile Name…",
and specifying a filename in the resulting dialog box.
Starting and Stopping Message Logging
To start message logging
1. Choose "File: Set Logfile Name…", and specify a filename in the
resulting dialog box. The default is
"$HOME/.softbench/projectname.msglog".
2. Set the "File: ■ Enable Logging" toggle button.
SoftBench Message Monitor logs all messages to the logfile.
To disable message logging, clear the "File: ■ Enable Logging" toggle
button. Once disabled, SoftBench Message Monitor closes the logfile. If
you enable logging again, SoftBench Message Monitor logs to a new copy
of the named file.
