Logging Setting Preferences
PlanetPress Connect logs the activities it undertaking consistently as it runs. These log files are
essential when diagnosing issues with OL Support. New Connect logs but are created daily, so
they need to be deleted periodically.
The logging settings are global to all Connect applications, and the Logging Preferences can
be adjusted from within the Designer and Server Configuration Preference dialogs.
The preferences not only allow setting how long the log files should be retained, but can also
be used to set the level of logging.
The settings are:
l
Rollover policy selection: Chose whether to retain Connect log files for a certain number
of days (Daily logs) or based upon some predetermined hard disk usage limitations
(Size-based logs). The selection are as follows:
l
Daily Logs:Use this setting to determine how many days Connect Logs are to be
kept, before they are deleted.
l
Number of days to retain logs: This value only impacts upon historic
(closed) logs.
Chose between 1 and 99,999 days.
The default value is set to 10 days for a new installation and 99,999 days on
existing installations (to preserve backward compatibility).
l
Size-based logs: By combining the maximize individual file size, plus the amount
of files to retain, this effectively allows a hard disk usage space limitation on the
logging process.
l
Maximum size for log file: This sets the maximum size a log file can reach
before the logging system creates a new file.
l
Number of files to keep:This sets the maximum number of log files kept in
the log folder. The default value is set to 50 for a new Connect installation and
99, 999 for an existing installation (to preserve backward compatibility).
l
Logging pattern edit box: This edit box allows customization of the logging. This controls
the formatting of individual log entries, as well as determining what actually gets logged.
