Enabling Log FIles

Use LogTool (Options > Log File Settings) to enable logging of events to files. If enabled, the server will write log records to text files in the log file directory using the following file names (depending on the log type):

• Transaction Log – TranX.log

• Communications Log – CommsX.log

• Object State Log – StateX.log

• Low Level Log – IOXSerial Port_1.log

where “X” is “$” for the currently active file and 0, 1, 2, etc. for archived files.

The server stores the most recent log records in a file that has a $ character in the place of the version number. When this file grows to the point that it will exceed the threshold set by the File Size setting for that log, the server will rename the log file by replacing the dollar sign with a new version number. At the same time that the server rolls over to a new log file, the File Count parameter for that log will also be evaluated. If there are more saved files for that log than are allowed by the File Count parameter, the server will delete the oldest of these files until the count is less than or equal to the File Count.
