How to use built-in JS logger?
Hello all,
I am doing quite a lot of front-end development in JavaScript on Pega 7.4 and I discovered that there is a JS interface for getting log messages from native Pega controls.
There is a pega.widget.Logger that might be visible on UI but I find no way to enable it. Moreover it is not either loaded or available in global context.
Modifying IsAPegaDeveloper when rule gives access to brief description of logBase, logBaseMonitor, and others but there is no examples of usage.
Is there any way to enable this Logger? Maybe, we can reuse it for our custom controls, cannot we?

For logs to show up on the console, should not the typical console.log( ) be enough ? Do you want logs from JS files to show up in the pega logs ?

Of course, in my own widgets/controls/components I use vanilla js console.log but sometimes for troubleshooting I need to know the state of built-in pega controls and they seems to use more sophisticated logging mechanism which I'd like to use as well.
Writing to pega logs is quite trivial: create an activity with Log-Message, expose it as Connect REST and call it asynchronously from client side js.
But I'd like to know:
- How to enable it for debugging purposes?
- If it's possible, use it in my own components as pega's logging seems to be more robust. But it requires at least a bit more documentation from pega.
