Customizing HL7 Logging Properties

The default logging configuration values are sufficient for most installations of CTS. However, you can customize them to accommodate special situations.

1. Open vocera\vcts\resources\vcts.properties in a text editor.
2. Modify any of the following properties and remove the # comment, if necessary.

   Table 1. HL7 logging properties

   Property	Default Value	Description
   hl7.log.encrypted	true	Specifies whether to encrypt the HL7 data.
   hl7.log.obfuscate	false	Specifies whether to obfuscate HL7 values. If you set this to true, manually create the hl7.log.obfuscate.val property and specify which HL7 values to obfuscate. Contact Vocera Technical Support if you need to obfuscate log data.
   hl7.log.xml	false	Whether to save the log in XML format rather than HL7.
   hl7.log.lines	10000	Maximum number of lines in each log file. Note: If you receive a large number of HL7 messages each day, you can increase the value of hl7.log.lines or hl7.log.files to accommodate the higher volume.
   hl7.log.files	5	Number of log files to save before moving them to the upload folder.
   hl7.log.upload.enable	true	Whether to move log files to the upload folder once the hl7.log.files number has been reached.
   hl7.log.upload.folder	%VOCERA_DRIVE%\vocera\support\upload	The folder that the AutoSendLogs utility uses to send log files to Vocera.

3. Save the file.
4. Restart the Vocera Care Team Sync service.
