This is a stupid question. Someone in the team placed a system.util.getLogger() somewhere and it's filling the logs with random ---- things. Any idea on how to trace it? I can't seem to find it ---

`Ctrl+F` and when you see this screen: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/8/083038936d1f0e0aa590d860e10d550a41971a01.png) Dropdown the views menu and select 'All Views'. You could deselect Named Queries and Styles as well. Search for `system.util.getLogger()` Hopefully, it has a unique name so there are not too many results... if not maybe try searching for the message you are seeing and the log level. For example, if you are seeing ---- at the info level search for `.info('----')` ---

I'm sorry. I should clarify what the problem is Let me share a part of the log: ```python INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | ROOMID1 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | ROOMID1 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | ROOMID4 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | ROOMID4 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | ROOMID4 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | ROOMID4 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | IDROOM2 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | IDROOM2 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | IDROOM2 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | IDROOM2 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | ROOMID1 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | ROOMID1 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | ROOMID4 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | ROOMID4 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | IDROOM6 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | IDROOM8 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | IDROOM6 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | IDROOM6 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | ROOMID1 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | ROOMID1 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | IDROOM2 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | IDROOM2 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | IDROOM2 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | IDROOM2 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | IDROOM2 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | IDROOM2 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | IDROOM2 INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/02/05 14:46:17 | IDROOM2 ``` There is no log name... There is no message... Is simply the rooms ids??? I promise you I'm not beliving this. I suposse the name is a variable that is changing? I don't know ---

I am looking at the logs in the Gateway webpage so it is a little different on my end. Do you see the same log messages in there? If so, there should be a log name with each message that is defined by the `system.util.getLogger()` function. Also, if your team is still available, I would just blast a message out asking if anyone added logs for this room ID value. ---

You're looking in the wrapper log. Look at the logs on the gateway, it will be there as well, and it will have the name. Gateway-\>Status-\>Logs. ---

@ryan.perretta @lrose The logs doesn't appear in the webpage only in the `wrapper.log`. > [@ryan.perretta](#): > > Also, if your team is still available, I would just blast a message out asking if anyone added logs for this room ID value. My team said (the person in question) that he didn't place any loggers 😵‍💫 so... whatever... ---

It wasn't a logger, was it? (That kind of output in the wrapper log is what you get from `print` in gateway scope.)
