Logging Tab (Login Dialog)

Logging tab allows user to configure session logging. Unlike most of the tabs of Login dialog its settings are global, not per-session.

You need to check Advanced options to reveal the tab.

To enable logging, select logging format, Text log or XML log.

Once the logging is enabled, you can configure the Logging options.

In Logging level you can select Debug 1 or Debug 2 for more verbose logging. You will probably need these (together with logging to file), when reporting bugs only.

To enable logging to file tick Log to file checkbox and specify log file. Log file name can contain following patterns: !Y (year), !M (month), !D (day), !T (time), !H (hostname), !S (session name); !! (exclamation mark); and environment variables with syntax %NAME%. It is not possible to change log file name in middle of the session for XML logging.

If you select Append option, and the logging file already exists, session log will be appended to the end of the file. Otherwise the existing file will be overwritten. If you enable logging to file in mid-session the past events will not be written to the log retrospectively. Note that simultaneous logging of several sessions to file is not supported. Passwords are not written to log file. Appending is not allowed for XML logging.
