•When launched, Service logger reads the configuration file. It loads in memory the message definition file and the interface definition file.

 

•It eventually creates the directory where the log file(s) reside.

 

•It activates the reception on a specific port and eventually the multicast address when multicast mode is used.

 

•The service logger shifts to the waiting mode and broadcasts a “start of service” message.

 

•A periodical heartbeat message is broadcasted according to the value set in the configuration file.

 

•When receiving a message, the Service logger builds a string chain that includes date and time of reception.

 

•It replaces the message number by the explicit label and the interface identifier by it’s relevant label.

 

•If the message number or the interface identifier does not exist on the definition file, the service logger writes directly the received value.
