Hi all,

I need your assistance to solving the situation which is important for my project. I need to modify the logfiles which I know generated automatically. I just need to add some field in the perflog/web_api_details.csv file.

How shall I do this?  Is there a way to manipulate log4jconfig.xml in Appian cloud environment to capture additional information in perflog/web_api_details .csv file.

Please suggest. Thanks in Advance.

    I don't think this is possible. Some logs can be updated to change the logging level but I'm not aware of a way to add additional columns to any logs. What is your use case?

    Thanks for your quick response Peter.

    We are trying track unique identifier for individual api call. When the api call made need to add the unique reference number for each api call in web_api_details.csv file and need track on database also.

    Thank You.

    Can you explain why you need that information? What are you hoping to do with the unique reference for each API call? If you talk a bit more about what your end goal is, there might be another way to get what you need.

    Also, keep in mind that this log does not track individal requests; it summarizes all of the requests to the same API within an hour into a single row in the log.
