Hi,

**Context:**  
We are trying to implement custom connector and trying to log messages into ccg.log file

**Problem:**  
We tried different methods like “debug()”, “info()” e.t.c., but none of them are working.

Can someone let us know how to enable and use logs in custom connector implementation.

Hi Michael and Menno,

Thank you for the reply.

The log article which provided here is for default connectors. I need to implement logs from custom connector.

Thanks,

Hey Abhinov,

I have the following in my custom connector and I can do log.debug(); to have it appear in my CCG logs. I don’t know if there are other ways to do it but this seems to work for me.

import openconnector.SystemOutLog;  
import openconnector.Log;

```
public CustomConnector(ConnectorConfig config, Log log) {
    super(config, log);
}

```

Where CustomConnector is the name of your Custom Connector
