DataWeave 2.2 is compatible and bundled with Mule 4.2. This version of Mule reached its End of Life on May 2, 2023, when Extended Support ended.

Deployments of new applications to CloudHub that use this version of Mule are no longer allowed. Only in-place updates to applications are permitted.

MuleSoft recommends that you upgrade to the latest version of Mule 4 that is in Standard Support so that your applications run with the latest fixes and security enhancements.

log(String, T): T

Without changing the value of the input, log returns the input as a system log.

Use this function to help with debugging DataWeave scripts. A Mule app outputs the results through the DefaultLoggingService, which you can see in the Studio console.

Parameters

Name Description

prefix

An optional string that typically describes the log.

value

The value to log.

Example

This example logs the specified message. Note that the DefaultLoggingService in a Mule app that is running in Studio returns the message WARNING - "Houston, we have a problem," adding the dash `- between the prefix and value. The Logger component’s LoggerMessageProcessor returns the input string "Houston, we have a problem.", without the WARNING prefix.
