Set up a logger hierarchy

You can set up a logger hierarchy within a logging.config file using dotted strings. The Logger framework interprets a string like Company.Order as being the parent of Company.Order.Sales, Company.Order.Customer, etc. This enables you to set up a logger hierarchy with logging configurations that apply to groups of ABL classes.

When you instantiate the Logger, you typically pass the fully qualified class name in the LoggerBuilder (for example, LoggerBuilder:GetLogger('Company.Order.Sales')).

In the logging.config file, instead of specifying a logging configuration with a matching name for each of these classes, you could specify logging configurations named Company.Order and Company.Internal. The Logger framework determines a parent-child relationship and uses the Company.Order logging configuration for the Sales and Customer classes and Company.Internal for the Employee and Finance classes.
