I am having considerable difficulty logging information in PL-pgSQL functions by using the ‘RAISE’ statement.    I am asking for comments/suggestions on what I am doing wrong.

I’ve tried flushing/rotating the log files by executing *‘select pg_rotate_logfile()’* in PSQL but my messages never appear in the log files.   I’ve tried calling my PL-pgSQL functions in PSQL, PgAdmin4, OmniDB and ADO.NET but again my messages never appear in the log file.

On very rare occasions, I see my messages the log file if I restart the PostgreSql server however restarting the server generally does not flush my messages to the log files.

Do they show up in a client? For example psql:

[snip] 

test_(aklaver)> select testwithbasictypearguments(1, 2.5, 'test');
LOG:  Test.TestWithArguments: i = 1, n = 2.5, t = test
 testwithbasictypearguments
