Hi Mário,

You can simply use this statement: GenericExtendedActions.Audit(AppInfo.GetAppInfo().OsContext, "AUDIT MESSAGE", "MODULENAME");

I believe someone else has published a more detailed post about this...but can't find it. So, here's the straight answer, anyway.

Cheers,

I've been searching for how to log the errors of an extension I'm working on a this partially solves my problems.

The issue is: What if want to log an exception into the error log and not the general log?

This is where it really belongs in terms of semantics and its where I need to place it.

Thanks in advance for your support.

All the best,
Pedro Oliveira

Hi Pedro,

This is an undocumented feature but you can use:

using OutSystems.HubEdition.RuntimePlatform.Log; ...
private void LogError(Exception e) {
ErrorLog.StaticWrite(DateTime.Now, AppInfo.GetAppInfo().OsContext.Session.SessionID,
AppInfo.GetAppInfo().eSpaceId, AppInfo.GetAppInfo().Tenant.Id,
AppInfo.GetAppInfo().OsContext.Session.UserId, e.Message, e.ToString(), "My Message here");
}

I hope this helps you.
Cheers,
André

In version 10, GenericExtendedActions.Audit() is marked as obsolete, and description suggests to use LogMessage(). So I have changed to GenericExtendedActions.LogMessage() - but this doesn't log anything! At least not in service center General logs. I have changed back to Audit(). Is this a bug?

My using version 10.0.828.0 and used GenericExtendedActions.LogMessage() and it logs the messages in the Service Center General Log. I believe this is no longer an issue.
