The Log Manager module presents a number of options from which you can enable a log file for a catalog and define its content.
PRECONDITIONS: To manage a log file for a catalog, you must have the appropriate Administrator permissions (Catalog Permissions > Administrator Permissions > Manage Log Files.)
To enable and define the logging of a catalog:
1. Select File > Administration > Server Console, or connect to the Web Server Console via a Web browser.
2. The Server Console application is started. Log on as Cumulus Administrator to the Cumulus Server that manages the catalogs you want to have logged.
3. Select Log Manager. The Log Manager Properties window opens.
In the field Default Log Folder you may enter another folder to serve as the default folder for log files.
4. In the field Catalog, select the catalog you want to have logged. You can only set the logging properties for catalogs for which you have the appropriate Administrator permissions: Manage Log Files.
5. Then define the logging properties for the selected catalog.
• Click Enable Logging if you want the logging to be active.
• In the field Log Folder you may enter another folder other than the default folder to serve as the folder for the log file(s) of the current catalog.
• If you want a separate log file for each day, enable Daily Log File. Daily log files have the advantage that you can delete those you no longer need.
• Select the columns you want the log file to contain as well as their sequence by clicking the arrow buttons. To delete a column just click the minus option in the list: –
• Select the events you want the log file to contain by check marking them.
6. Click Save Changes. The catalog’s activities will be logged in a file named after the catalog. If you enabled Daily Log File the date is added to the name (year-month-day).
