Logging

There are several ways to enable logging in Pentaho Data Integration, depending on how you want to run and monitor your jobs and transformations. Here are some of the methods:

• You can use the command line tool Pan or Kitchen to execute the transformation or job with the option -logfile:"your-log-file.txt". You can also specify the log level, the log size limit, and the log record timeout. You can then use any scheduling tool on your system, such as cron on Linux or Task Scheduler on Windows, to run the command at a specific time or interval.

• You can use the Transformation Properties or Job Properties dialog box in Spoon to create a log table that keeps a history of information associated with your field information. You can specify the database connection, the log table name, the logging interval, and the log record timeout. You can also view the log entries in the Execution Results panel or in the Schedule perspective.
