WARN PTV_SpeedPatterns is not licensed

[HaliFeri]

Hi,

(bernd: XSERS-1681)

we recently upgraded xServices (xRoute, xLocate, xMap) from 1.24.0 to 1.28.1 and since our PTV logs are full of the following warnings:

Code: Select all

2020-02-04 09:47:37,025;WARN;com.ptvag.xserver.module.xroute.m0014;163eb888-75e7-4f91-a83c-c56d1fd59dd6;default;;;The theme PTV_TruckSpeedPatterns is not licensed.
2020-02-04 09:46:42,561;WARN;com.ptvag.xserver.module.xroute.m0014;1e291a0e-369b-4729-ae18-7bf2db01680f;default;;;The theme PTV_SpeedPatterns is not licensed.

We never had license for speed patterns and never used them either. The EuropePremium.geo maps we use always contained the speed pattern feature layer as I checked.

Is there any configuration option, to mute these warnings which appear with every single routing request?
Now it's very hard to notice any real warnings.

Thank you for your help!

Hello HaliFeri,

here's a recommendation of our core experts: use an expression filter (available for LOG4J 1.2). You can update the configuration in the server-logging.properties:

log4j.appender.XSERVER.filter.0=org.apache.log4j.filter.ExpressionFilter
log4j.appender.XSERVER.filter.0.expression=(MSG ~= 'The theme PTV_TruckSpeedPatterns is not licensed.')||(MSG ~= 'The theme PTV_SpeedPatterns is not licensed.') log4j.appender.XSERVER.filter.0.acceptOnMatch=false

If you want to enable the server to use this feature
- download the required JAR from https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/log4 ... ras/1.2.17
- copy it to [server]/shared/lib
Best regards,
Bernd

Thank you Bernd!

I will try this after installing the Extras module.

In the meanwhile I wonder how much performance degradation should I expect because of this new filtering.

[Bernd Welter]

how about disabling WARNINGS as a whole?

[Bernd Welter]

did you ever try to remove the spee pattern data from the map?

Hi Bernd!

I tried the method you suggested in server-logging.properties, but it doesn't seem to change anything.
In addition with the

Code: Select all

log4j.appender.XSERVER.filter.0=org.apache.log4j.filter.ExpressionFilter
log4j.appender.XSERVER.filter.0.acceptOnMatch=false

I tried

Code: Select all

log4j.appender.XSERVER.filter.0.expression=(MSG ~= 'The theme PTV_SpeedPatterns is not licensed.')

and

Code: Select all

log4j.appender.XSERVER.filter.0.expression=(MSG ~= 'PTV_SpeedPatterns')

as well with no success.

After reading a bit about log4j 1.2, I also tried

Code: Select all

org.apache.log4j.varia.StringMatchFilter

, which doesn't need any additional lib, but it has no visible effect either.

I'm positive I'm working with the right appender settings, as when I modified the log level on the appender, I saw the effect. I also restarted the service after every config modification (the log level change took effect only after restart I think).

So right now it seems that no filtering mechanism works.

We don't really want to switch off WARN level completely, as other useful messages could be hidden that way.

Hello

unfortunately I am not familiar with the logging framework recommended by DEV.
What I did was easier:
- stop the service
- remove the /featurelayer folder from the map (back them up!)
- start the service

Worked fine on my local environment:

Best regards,

PS: I do not expect that we create a minor 1.28 just because of this suboptimal behaviour

[HaliFeri]

We also noticed this.

Removing /featurelayer/*/{trafficpatterns,trucktrafficpatterns} folders stops the warn messages.

We will probably go with this solution.
Thank you for your support.

sounds good!!
