How

A new System Logging Profile has been added to the Profile Editor in the web interface, aligning with the functionality available in Central Admin. This profile allows you to configure system logging settings, including enabling private data logging and managing subsystem logging configurations.

Key Features:

• Enable Private Data Logging: A checkbox to enable or disable private data logging for the entire system. Default is unchecked.

• Subsystem Logging Configuration: A table for configuring logging behavior for subsystems. You can add new configurations with unique identifiers and set logging categories, enabling, and persisting options.

• Modal Configuration: When adding or editing subsystem logging configurations, you can specify:

  • Subsystem Identifier: A required, unique identifier.

  • Logging Categories: Add and configure categories with enable and persist options.

  • Additional Settings: Configure key-value pairs for each item.

• Validation: The Save button is enabled only when all required fields are correctly filled. An empty profile cannot be saved.

• Editing: Post-creation, you can edit the entire profile or individual subsystem logging configurations.

The new System Logging Profile supports macOS 10.12 and later versions. All Apple profiles are signed as per the latest updates. For more details, refer to the Apple documentation on System Logging.
