EXM logging

Version:

The Email Experience Manager (EXM) has its own dedicated log file that is stored in the data/logs folder. The name of the log file is generated automatically in this format: Exm.log.<date>.<time>.txt.

Note

Any exceptions that EXM does not catch appear in the Sitecore log file, which is also located in the data/logs folder.

You can configure EXM logging, for example the format of the log file name, in the Sitecore.EmailExperience.Core.config file, in the log4net section:

    <log4net>
      <logger name="Sitecore.EXM" additivity="false">
        <level value="INFO" />
        <appender-ref ref="ExmLogFileAppender" />
      </logger>
      <appender name="ExmLogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.SitecoreLogFileAppender, Sitecore.Logging">
        <file value="$(dataFolder)/logs/Exm.log.{date}.txt" />
        <appendToFile value="true" />
        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
          <conversionPattern value="%4t %d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p %m%n" />
        </layout>
        <encoding value="utf-8" />
      </appender>
    </log4net>
