Parameters
Message Levels
This parameter specifies the type of messages to capture.
Capture Form
Specifies if the transformer should capture messages from the FME Logfile and/or Logger transformer.
Max Messsages Per Feature
Specifies the maximum number of messages that are to be loaded onto the output features.
Output Attribute List Name
Specifies the prefix list name for the set of attributes that are created for each captured message.
The set of attributes created for a captured message are:
• message
• level
• number
• time
• cpu_time
These correspond to the message, level, number and timings that are present in the FME logfile.
The first message at index 0 is also duplicated in non-list form, for example, _log{0}.message and _log.message are equivalent.
