Hello,

Is it possible to use the ZAP core logger in Javascript scripts?

Or maybe get the output of script console and export it as `zap-scripts.log`

Thanks,

Binhomolayzu

Hi,

Yes, all of the scripting languages can call Java class methods and they will be able to log in the the same way as the java classes.

We have this related script which allows you to turn debug logging on: https://github.com/zaproxy/community-scripts/blob/main/standalone/enableDebugLogging.js

I just ran this standalone script:

var LoggerManager = Java.type("org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager")
var log = LoggerManager.getLogger("script")
log.info("Example info message")

And got this in the zap.log file:

419421 [ZAP-ScriptExecutor-log] DEBUG org.zaproxy.zap.extension.script.ExtensionScript - invokeScript log
419429 [ZAP-ScriptExecutor-log] INFO script - Example info message

Cheers,

Simon
