The easiest way to log a message is to use one of the console.log methods.
Note that when using Safari or Chrome to view the logged messages, you must ensure the appropriate filter is set. As shown above, the All filter is set so all logged messages are shown.
For further information on how to debug the JavaScript component of a Kapsel app see Debugging.
The Kapsel Logger plugin persists the logged messages and enables them to be viewed, emailed, or uploaded from the app.
The Logger plugin also has a log level so that only messages logged at that log level or higher are persisted.
The log level once set is persistent between application restarts on Android and iOS.
The Kapsel plugins will also use the Logger plugin's log level when deciding what information to log. The information logged from the Kapsel plugins is from both the JavaScript and native layers.
For additional details on the Logger plugin, see C:\SAP\MobileSDK3\KapselSDK\docs\api\sap.Logger.html or Using the Logger Plugin.
The following application attempts to demonstrate how the Logger plugin can be used.

- Prepare, build and deploy the app with the following command.
cordova run android
or
cordova run windows -- --archs=x64
or
cordova run windows --device -- --archs=arm --phone
or
cordova run ios
Set the application log level to be WARN
Clear the Log
Log a message at the DEBUG log level
Log a message at the WARN log level
Log a message at the ERROR log level
Click on View Log
Notice that the message logged at the debug level does not appear in the log.
- Pressing the Upload Log button causes the log file to be uploaded to the server.
In order for the call to sap.Logger.upload() to succeed, the Log Upload checkbox on the registration ID in the Management Cockpit must be checked.
Note, the Log Type drop down in the Client Logging dialog can change the log level set for the application when used with the Settings plugin.
A bug has been reported where only the messages that are at the log level specified here or above are uploaded to the server.
It is possible to set the Log Upload to be enabled for each new registration via the Application > Configure > Client Policies > Log Policy settings.The log once uploaded to the SMP server can be viewed under Logs > Logs & Traces as shown below.
- On Android, by default there are 10 log files with a default size of 100KB. When all 10 log files are full, the first log file is erased and then written to. When the log files are uploaded to the SMP server following a call to sap.Logger.upload, the logs on the device are erased. The number of log files and the file size can be set in a properties file.
C:\Kapsel_Projects\KapselGSDemo\platforms\android\assets\sap-supportability.properties
clientLogManager=com.sap.smp.client.supportability.log.ClientLogManagerImpl
e2eTraceManager=com.sap.smp.client.supportability.e2e.E2ETraceManagerImpl
file_size=102400
file_count=10
file_age=604800000
The file_age is in milliseconds. The default shown above is 7 days. After seven days, the logs are erased.
The log files can become full quickly so it is recommended to increase these settings. The log files can be viewed on an emulator as shown below under data\data\com.kapsel.gs\files .
Note, the Android 7 and 7.1.1 emulators do not appear to enable viewing of files as noted in this bug report.
Another way to view the files is to use the following commands.
adb root
adb shell
cd data\data\com.kapsel.gs\files
ls -l
