What is the difference between gs.log and GsLog?? - Please explain me in detail

Hi Chandra,

Below is the basic difference:

GSLog : GSLog is a script include which makes logging and debugging from script easier by implementing levels of log output, selectable by per-caller identified sys_properties values.

gs.log : gs.log("Hello World"); Will write to the database and the log file. Too much of this can adversely affect performance

You can find more information about GSLog on below wiki link:

What do you mean by "selectable by per-caller identified sys_properties values." - Please explain

Hi Chandra,

Below is an example of GSLog:

var gl = new GSLog("com.snc.sla.tasksla.log", "TaskSLA");

gl.logWarning("This is a warning message");

Logging of Logs is depends on the value of System Property.

As the best Practise, we should used GSLog only for debugging. As we can turn On or Off logs messages using System Property.

Hope this answers your question

GsLog is what Solutioner has said: A Script Include

gs.log is basically a Utility Function available with the GlideSystem Object. You may like to read more about GlideSystem here: GlideSystem - ServiceNow Wiki

Its usage has already been described above in the Thread.
