Setting the log file

A log file is frequently required for diagnostic purposes.

You can activate the creation of a log file and make further settings.

Setting		Description
Configuration
Enable logging		Switches the log functionality on/off.
Enable diagnosis logging		Performs the logging with an increased log level and a greater maximum file size. More data is therefore available for diagnostic purposes. In this mode, no maximum file size and no log level must be specified. These values are specified by "Manage MyMachines /Remote".
Location:		Defines or creates a directory in which the log files are stored. The directory is created in the "Find Directory" window.
Max. filesize [Kbytes]		Specification of the maximum file size in KB. "Manage MyMachines /Remote" creates a maximum of 2 log files. As soon as the first file reaches the maximum size, a new log file is created. If an older file already exists, then it is overwritten.
Log level		Specifies whether and which data is to be logged.
	None	Do not log any data.
	Fatal	Critical errors that prevent further program execution.
	Error	Simpler errors that occur during the program execution, but that do not prevent further execution.
	Warning	Warnings that indicate problems.
	Info	Information that indicates irregularities in the execution.
	DebugN	Logging of the program execution. "N" specifies the level of detail.

In the menu bar, call "Settings" > "Logging ...".

However, you can then no longer manually define the maximum file size and the log level.
