For example, if you create a subcategory for debugging, set the component log settings to output logs at debug level, and then set this log level to information level, logs will not be output when the component is in use. If, however, you need to output debug logs for some reason, if you set the log level to debug level at this stage, the debug log configured in the component will output logs. In order to set the sub-category, please click on the "Add" button and log in as it is displayed in the list after inputting the category name and selecting the log level. To delete a subcategory, select the subcategory to delete from the list and click on the "Delete" button. When you change the log level of a registered subcategory, select the subcategory changed from the list and then click on the "Update" button after changing the log level. Only subcategories displayed on the summary will be registered as log settings, so do not forget to register them. Additionally, always click on the "Add" or "Update" button at the bottom of the screen after making changes to subcategories. |
