File logging

You access this menu item via the "Tools" menu and the Log Settings entry.

 

The output of the error logs into a file can be specified here.

 

Fig.: Setting dialog for the log file

 

Different levels of logging can be set here.

 

Debug

This setting results in very detailed logging. Please only activate this level when consulting with PROXESS support, e.g. as part of a service call.

Information (default)

In addition to all errors and warnings, outputs information messages which don't require access.

Example: "PROXESS server has been started"

Warning

Warnings are messages which are output during operation and which require action on the part of the administrator as soon as possible.

Example: The disk capacity for saving files and data is nearly used up.

Error

These are error messages which do not lead to a server interruption, but absolutely require action on the part of the administrator.

Example: DVD medium burning has failed, as the medium is defective.

Critical

The server module is stopped if a critical event occurs.

Example: No disk space available for saving, or SQL database not started/available.

 

 

Advanced properties for file logging:

 

Split file

To prevent the log file from becoming too large, it can be split into parts.

Maximum parts

After reaching the maximum parts, the oldest files are overwritten.

Maximum size

After reaching the maximum file size in MB, a new file (part) is created. Together with the limitation of the number of parts, you can prevent logging from taking up too much disk space.

Path

You can determine the storage location of the log file here.

View

The log file specified in the path is called up.

Delete

The log file (with all parts) is deleted.
