Logging Overview

Last updated March 2020

Momentum’s logging capabilities are implemented by various modules. They are intended to maintain auditing and a history of events, providing information such as system errors, message disposition, and engagement tracking. The logging subsystems range from transactional logs on a server node to replicated server node logs, aggregated on the designated log aggregator.

  • event_hydrant - provides message disposition status, including message generation, message reception, message delivery, and engagement tracking

  • exim_logger - supports logging in the same style as the Open Source MTA Exim (http://www.exim.org)

Momentum can generate logs in two formats:
