Log Configuration

Use this page to specify the settings for logging the connection-related information to a log file. In case of problems, a support engineer may ask for this information.

You can specify these preferences:

Enable logging

If this check box is cleared, no logging takes place. Select this check box to activate logging.

Location

Specify the complete path of the log file. The file name must end in ".log". Use the browse button to select the folder in which the log file must be stored.

Application log level

Select the log level. This influences the amount of messages that are logged. These levels are supported:

Error
Only errors are logged.
Info
Errors and informational messages are logged.
Debug
Errors, informational messages, and debug messages are logged.

Limit file size

If no limit is specified, the log file grows when new messages are logged. If you specify a limit, by size or by time, the log file does not grow indefinitely.

On size

If this check box is selected, the log file does not grow beyond a maximum size. If the maximum size is reached, the existing log file is renamed by appending ".1" to the name, and a new log file is opened. Existing log files that have previously been renamed are renamed to the next higher number: the ".1" file is renamed to ".2", the ".2" file is renamed to ".3", etc. If the maximum number of log files is reached, the oldest one is deleted.

Maximum size
Specify the maximum size of the log in MB.
Maximum number
Specify the maximum number of log files that must be preserved. Example: if you specify "2" in this field, at most 3 log files will be present in the log file location: the current log file and two older log files with the extensions ".1" and ".2".

On time

If this check box is selected, the log file is renewed periodically. If the specified interval has elapsed, the existing log file is renamed by appending a timestamp to the name, and a new log file is opened. Select one of these intervals:

Daily
Half-daily
Hourly
