Need logging of TeamCity Build Triggers

Question

We use TeamCity 7.1 for continuous integration, and we produce build logs and artifacts for each build. We created a special build trigger of our own. It runs several times a day on several different configurations. But every now and then it fails to initiate a build, and we are trying to determine why. We want to log the output of the trigger itself. Is it possible to generate a log from the build trigger, even if a build doesn't run as a result of the trigger?

Answer 1

Our co-op posted to the jetbrains (the authors of TeamCity) message board about adding trigger logging . It looks like there are a couple of options, outlined here: TeamCity Build Trigger Logging.

• Option 1 is to use log4j logging within the plugin itself
• Option 2 is to create our own logger
