General Logging
•
Log Level (0-9): This field determines which log messages are included in the
log. The range is between 0 and 9. Level 0 will show you only critical messag-
es, while level 9 will show you every available log messages of the system. Log
level 9 should be used only for troubleshooting, as it creates additional load
for the system and may generate extremely large log files.
•
Log Length: This setting determines the length of the internal log message
buffer and is used to show the log messages in the web interface.
•
Log Filename: To request that the system write log messages to a filename,
specify that filename here. If you enter a dollar sign into the log filename
(highly recommended), the system will replace the dollar sign with the current
day and automatically generate a new file everyday. This will ensure that the
log files do not become too large over time. It is highly recommended that you
not log to a file without using the dollar sign. Also, be sure to delete old log
files from time to time so that your file system does not get overloaded with
too much logging information.
One of the first log messages that you will see will be in the working directory.
If the Log Filename setting does not contain a path, the system will write the
log file to that directory. You can specify the directory during the installation
process.
Example: The setting
working directory with the name
