Hi All,

Is there a way we can do logging of the custom buildmap rule deployed as a part of connector rule. I tried the below code inside my rule but not able to see the logs in ccg log file, I have also uploaded the connector configuration on tenant using API.

```
log.debug("inside custom connector rule"); 

```

Thanks a lot.  
Nitin

Hi @nitin.m.jain. Connectors run on your virtual appliances. Did you enable debug logging on your VA?

Hi Colin,

Thanks for the reply, yes I did that but still did not got any logs. Do I need to do something else apart from enabling debug via VA and adding the logger statement in code.

Thanks.

Check out [this topic](https://developer.sailpoint.com/discuss/t/what-is-the-correct-way-of-debugging-connector-rules/1771/14). There are a couple more things you can check to see why logs aren’t showing, and you might find your answer in that topic.
