mvelDebug Function

This function populates the DEBUG level of the karaf.log file with the input parameters. Use this function to log the polled values from a report that returns a result that you believe is incorrect.

The poll log of the Data Collector only shows the values of the polled attributes, while the report only shows the result of the calculation. The mvelDebug function allows you to view the input poll values to determine where the calculation went wrong.
