Configuring Web Author Logging in Content Fusion

To configure logging for the built-in visual editor, follow these steps:

Connect to the Content Fusion Enterprise machine over SSH.
Edit the log4j.properties file from the Web Author Docker container and then restart that container:
1. Go to the Content Fusion directory:
```
cd /fusion
```
2. Copy the log4j.properties file from the Web Author Docker container to the host:
```
sudo docker cp "$(docker-compose ps -q webauthor)":/tomcat/webapps/oxygen-xml-web-author/WEB-INF/log4j.properties log4j.properties
```
3. Open this log4j.properties file in an editor to add the following lines to enable additional logging:
```
log4j.category.org.apache.http.impl.conn=debug
log4j.category.org.apache.http.impl.client=debug
log4j.category.org.apache.http.client=debug
log4j.category.org.apache.http.headers=debug 
```
4. Once you have finished editing the file, you can copy it to the Web Author container with:
```
sudo docker cp log4j.properties "$(docker-compose ps -q webauthor)":/tomcat/webapps/oxygen-xml-web-author/WEB-INF/log4j.properties
```
5. Restart the Web Author Docker container to apply the changes:
```
sudo docker-compose restart webauthor
```
[Optional] To verify the content of the log4j.properties file, you can run:
```
sudo docker-compose exec webauthor cat /tomcat/webapps/oxygen-xml-web-author/WEB-INF/log4j.properties
```
Note:
These changes will be lost if the Web Author Docker container is re-created.
[Optional] If you have not changed the default docker log driver, you can see the live feed of logs by running:
```
sudo docker-compose logs --follow webauthor
```
