Hi guys,
I notice that some of the fields(x-severity, x-category, x-event) is missing from the stats log(wowzamediaserver\_stats.log).
```auto
x-app x-severity x-category x-event date time c-client-id c-ip c-port cs-bytes sc-bytes x-duration x-sname x-stream-id x-spos sc-stream-bytes cs-stream-bytes x-file-size x-file-length x-ctx x-comment

```
Then I blindly try to disable the INFO logging in our custom module, then the logging is fine. That’s weird, it’s like the logging in the custom module has somehow messed up with Wowza’s logging.
Here’s how i defined the logger in the custom module:
```auto
public static final WMSLogger logger = WMSLoggerFactory.getLogger(HTTPRandomAccessReader.class);
```
Here’s the original logging in the module:
```auto
if (logger.isInfoEnabled())
logger.info("HTTPRandomAccessReader.init: status:" + this.status + " length:" +
this.length + " lastModified:" + this.lastModified);
```
Any idea? Appreciate for any insight, thanks!

Hi,
In your logger statement you do not specify the category or the event, so see the API there are multiple .info definitions so you are using
getLogger().info(comment)
but you could use
getLogger().info(comment, category, event)
Example your logger line would change from
```auto
if (logger.isInfoEnabled())
logger.info("HTTPRandomAccessReader.init: status:" + this.status + " length:" +
this.length + " lastModified:" + this.lastModified);
```
to
```auto
if (logger.isInfoEnabled())
logger.info("HTTPRandomAccessReader.init: status:" + this.status + " length:" +
this.length + " lastModified:" + this.lastModified,WMSLoggerIDs.CAT_application, WMSLoggerIDs.EVT_comment);
```
Andrew.

Ah Andrew, thanks! I will give this a try later on 🙂 Let’s see if this will work 😃

Unfortunately that does not work as well =(
We have a custom module, and some simple INFO logging in, I don’t understd why is it affects only RTSP streams… frustrated.
I tried removing all the logging in our custom module, then the problem would be gone. But why? I don’t want to remove the logging as they would be helpful during runtime. Please shed some light? Thanks!
