logging.properties
This file specifies properties that control the system log messages recorded by the Validation Responder. The Validation Responder can be configured to log messages to the system console, to log files and via email. By default, console and file logging are enabled and email logging is disabled.
Each log message that is generated has an associated level that specifies how important the message is. Valid levels, in order of decreasing severity, are SEVERE, WARNING, INFO, CONFIG, FINE, FINER, and FINEST.
When editing logging properties, ensure that the property is not commented out by removing the leading # from the log line you are editing.
This configuration file can be used to specify the properties as listed in the following subsections.
The path is C:\Program Files\HID Global\Validation Responder\responder\logging.properties.
