Class LogMessageParams

PolicyCenter uses LogMessageParams utility objects to create and format key-value pairs associated with a business event. PolicyCenter uses the data object to format key-value pairs for better human readability and machine parsing.

The following log record is an example of a formatted marker string, enclosed by curly braces {…}.

<BatchProcessCompleted> Batch process completed {type="Workflow", processHistoryId=103,
      elapsedTimeMs=13, error=null}

Notice the following:

• String values have surrounding double quotes, type="Workflow", for example.
• Boolean, number, and null values have no special formatting; processHistoryId=103 or error=null, for example.
• Exceptions, if present, for example:
  • "Exception class: exception message"; error="java.lang.RuntimeException: Behavior code is Error"

Guidewire uses these formatting conventions as it is easy to parse this information programmatically. Third-party tools, such as SumoLogic, can easily parse a log record that contains this type of formatted information.
