Import Set and Import Logs

[Francesco Dotti]

I have realized that with San Diego, in the baseline configuration, import logs are not created when you import something using the transform maps.

In order to enable the import logs again, you have to create this property and set it to true:

glide.importlog.log_to_table

The complete documentation of the Import Set Properties is here:

@Ankur Bawiskar  what do you recommend on this?? Is it the best practice to add this property "

glide.importlog.log_to_table" ?

Kind regards,

@Swetham 

It depends on your use-case

@Ankur Bawiskar , Thanks for responding. We have an instance scan running and that has a finding that says "This tasks contain all findings pertaining to the check "Import Logs do not work unless you add property introduced in San Diego""

We are running in Utah , so wanted to check if it is a general best practice to have this property set.

@Ankur Bawiskar , Please advise.

Hi,

If you are doing this in a non prod instance I don't see any issue, but if you do this in prod there may be lot of new logs, as this will enable the info level logs too. Now writing in log is a DB write operation so it does slow your transaction too, more logs mean more processing time. Also in prod how often will someone check these logs.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for this!  Spent 2 hours searching the internet trying to figure out why these logs weren't being created!
