# tDie

Triggers the tLogCatcher component for exhaustive log before killing the Job.

Both tDie and tWarn components are closely related to the tLogCatcher component.They generally make sense when used alongside a tLogCatcher in order for the log data collected to be encapsulated and passed on to the output defined.

This component throws an error and kills the job. If you simply want to throw a warning, see the tWarn documentation.

## tDie Standard properties

These properties are used to configure tDie running in the Standard Job framework.

The Standard tDie component belongs to the Logs & Errors family.

The component in this framework is available in all Talend products.
