Sends a message to the log file of the Vuser.

    void lr.log ( String message);

Message Functions | Java Syntax

## Arguments

Name | Comments
--- | ---
message | A string containing the message to send to the log.

The lr.log function sends a message to the log file, and not to the Controller output window. Use this function instead of lr_message to conserve the network resources required for sending messages to the output.

This function is identical to lr.log_message, except it inserts a quotation mark at the beginning of the string, enabling VuGen to display it in green in the output window.

In the Vuser Execution log, this function does not list the location and line number from where the message was issued. To issue a message with those details, use lr_output_message.

#### statement | #### Output
--- | ---
lr.log("a message") | "a message"
lr.output_message("message"); | Action(4): a message

## Return Values

No value is returned.
