Logging Properties

This dialog is accessed from the Logging dialog, which is displayed in the Tools button menu.

Logging properties determine whether the log is active, the type of logging to perform, and how large the log file is allowed to grow.

Active:

Check this property to turn logging on, or clear the check to turn logging off.  In Compliance mode, logging is always active and cannot be turned off.

Log File:

The field shows the path to the log file.  Hover the mouse over the field to see the full path.  You can also right-click the path to locate the file.

Logging Level:

Typically, the logging level should be set to Basic.  This provides a detailed log of user and program activities.  In some case, tech support may ask you to put the log into Comprehensive mode, which provides additional detail that can be used to help debug problems.

Maximum Log Size:

If you set a maximum log file size, the V-Comp™ application will create a new log file whenever the limit is reached.  The previous log file will be renamed with a number appended to its name.  If this property is set to "Unlimited", the log file is allowed to grow without restriction.  We recommend using the 1MB log size.
