Configuring Logging 13
You can modify ThinApp parameters to prevent logging activity or customize the location of the log files.
This chapter includes the following topics:

DisableTracing Parameter
The DisableTracing parameter prevents .trace file generation when you run Log Monitor for security and
resource purposes.
You might block standard .trace file generation to hide the application history from a user. In a testing
environment, you might turn off tracing for applications that you know work correctly. Producing
unnecessary .trace files wastes disk space and CPU time.
Example: Preventing Generation of Trace Files in Log Monitor
You can set the DisableTracing parameter to prevent the generation of .trace files in Log Monitor.
[BuildOptions]
DisableTracing=1
LogPath Parameter
The LogPath parameter sets the location to store .trace files during logging activity.
The default location is the same directory that stores the application executable file. You might change the
default location to a directory with more space, or to redirect the logs from a USB device to the client computer.
Unlike most paths in ThinApp, the log path cannot contain macros such as %AppData% or %Temp%.
Example: Specifying a Log Storage Directory
You can set the LogPath parameter to store log files in C:\ThinappLogs.
[BuildOptions]
LogPath=C:\ThinappLogs
