Mule ESB Logging Overview

Nodinite empowers you to achieve robust, business-driven logging from Mule ESB and MuleSoft (Anypoint) flows. Choose the approach that best fits your integration landscape and unlock powerful monitoring, troubleshooting, and analytics.

1. Mule ESB - Custom Connector – This is the recommended option. By using the Nodinite Pickup Service, you eliminate the need for the Mule ESB Logging Agent and gain a future-proof, scalable solution.
2. Built-in logging shapes – NOT recommended for most scenarios, but still supported:
   • Logger
   • Business Events

The Mule ESB Logging Agent leverages the output from the Log4J framework (option 2) to retrieve context and message body from Mule ESB flows running on-premise or in the cloud. Learn how to configure Log4J here.

You write the required logging code directly within your Mule Flows, giving you full control and flexibility.

To correlate messages within Mule Flows, configure a session variable. See the 'How do I correlate logged events?' user guide for best practices.
