The Logging page allows configuration of server logging options and server logs.
The server uses two types of logging mechanisms:
- Windows Application Log – This is the windows event log and its entries are accessed via the Windows Event Viewer.
- Text Log File – This is an optional log that allows more detailed information to be recorded by the server process. Its entries are accessed by a text viewer (such as Notepad). By default the file log is disabled.
