AugurEventLogger

This Handler plug-in logs raw events for reference in the Event Reporter tool.

Data are written in an XML-like format. The raw event appears as the content of an open XML tag, with tag attributes that further describe the event. The logs are buffered, so event data will not appear in the log files until periodically flushed (usually after a minute or two). This flush rate is controlled via the flush.rate property.

Logs are written to Augur's '~/logs/gateways/' directory. Each log file is allowed to span 3-hours, after which a new file is started. Files are named by sequential numbers. ("Zero" is defined as the beginning of the year 1970 GMT.)

Automatic purging limits log disk space usage by deleting enough old logs to meet the size and age limits set by the purge.age and purge.size properties.
