Using SoftBench Message Monitor

Logging Messages

Logging Messages

If you are integrating with SoftBench and want to see actual message formats, you can exercise SoftBench tools with SoftBench Message Monitor running. Tools may send several messages for a single action, ﬁlling the "Broadcast Message" area quickly. These messages can be saved by logging them to a ﬁle.

Specifying a Log File

The log ﬁle can be speciﬁed by choosing "File: Set Logfile Name…", and specifying a ﬁlename in the resulting dialog box.

Starting and Stopping Message Logging

To start message logging

1.Choose "File: Set Logfile Name…", and specify a ﬁlename in the resulting dialog box. The default is "$HOME/.softbench/projectname.msglog".

2.Set the "File: ■ Enable Logging" toggle button.

SoftBench Message Monitor logs all messages to the logﬁle.

To disable message logging, clear the "File: ■ Enable Logging" toggle button. Once disabled, SoftBench Message Monitor closes the logﬁle. If you enable logging again, SoftBench Message Monitor logs to a new copy of the named ﬁle.
