It should be possible to configure Cloud Runtime and self-hosted runtimes for debug and trace

In webMethods.io Integration DAF services (edge services) as well as package services, the pub.flow:debugLog service allows for setting a log level (Fatal, Error, Warn, Info, Debug, Trace). Currently, there is no way to configure which log entries will actually be created. Both on the Cloud Runtime and self-hosted runtimes, the server.log will only include messages from pub.flow:debugLog service invocations with log levels Fatal, Error, Warn and Info. It will not include any debug or trace messages.

It should be possible to quickly, easily and temporarily configure the Cloud Runtime and/or self-hosted runtimes to include debug and/or trace messages as well for debugging and tracing integrations.

The workarounds suggested in SI-576665 are not helpful. In practice, the integration ops team will not have access to the edge server’s admin UI for setting the server log level (that is the whole point of running a remote edge server, right?), and they will not want to contact IBM cloud ops team every time they need to debug or trace an integration on the Cloud Runtime.

Being able to debug or trace is a mandatory requirement for enterprise applications. Please consider implementing this in webMethods.io Integration also.

Best regards,
Thomas
