Use logging with the C++ producer SDK - Amazon Kinesis Video Streams
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Use logging with the C++ producer SDK

You configure logging for C++ producer SDK applications in the kvs_log_configuration file in the kinesis-video-native-build folder.

The following example shows the first line of the default configuration file, which configures the application to write DEBUG-level log entries to the Amazon Web Services Management Console:

log4cplus.rootLogger=DEBUG, KvsConsoleAppender

You can set the logging level to INFO for less verbose logging.

To configure the application to write log entries to a log file, update the first line in the file to the following:

log4cplus.rootLogger=DEBUG, KvsConsoleAppender, KvsFileAppender

This configures the application to write log entries to kvs.log in the kinesis-video-native-build/log folder.

To change the log file location, update the following line with the new path:

log4cplus.appender.KvsFileAppender.File=./log/kvs.log
Note

If DEBUG-level logging is written to a file, the log file can use up the available storage space on the device quickly.
