The APSIM Log Module

What is the Log Module?

The log module allows the user to track information and message flow through a simulation. The log file is formatted as a simple XML text document. These documents are often used to debug messaging problems within a simulation. Note that turning debug information on, and writing this to the log file, does slow down simulation execution.

Sample Parameterisation

The Log module has only two parameters: The name of the log file name and a flag to specify whether the user wants the detailed log written out for the current execution of the simulation. Setting debug output to off will stop the information being written to the log file.

logfile = log.txt
