# How to setup logging?

1. Import com.iteration3.smile.appLogger

   import com.iteration3.smile.appLogger
   

2. Usage:

   • to log an INFO message

   appLogger.info(s"Lottery - ${input.lotteryName} created successfully.")
   

   • to log an ERROR message

   appLogger.error("Invalid input ...")
   

   By default, log messages are written into logs/application.log file

   2020-01-02 16:55:55.724 - [INFO] - from application in scala-execution-context-global-725
   Lottery - NewYear_2020 created successfully.
   

   Advance usage:

   • To customize log configuration, edit application-logger.xml (located inside project's conf folder). More details here: How to log to a custom logger file?

   • For environment specific log configuration prefix application-logger.xml with environment name.

     For example to set up log configuration for "stage" environment, create stage.application-logger.xml
