Swivel Core V4 Logging Menu

XML

• Level: Minimum level of logging entries that will be stored in the XML log files. The levels, in order of increasing severity, are info, warning, error and fatal. Logging to XML files may be disabled entirely by selecting Off.
• Max. single file size (KB): Maximum file size (KB) for each XML log file. When the currently in use log file reaches this size a new log file is started.
• Compress log files after # days: Set this value to the number of days to keep log files before compressing them to zip files. Zipped log files will no longer be shown in the log viewer, but the zip files will remain on the server until the time specified below, to allow time for them to be archived. If this value is set to 0, log files will never be compressed. The default value for this is 7 days.
• Delete log files after # days: Set this value to the number of days to keep log files (compressed or uncompressed) before deleting them from the server.If this value is set to 0, log files are never deleted. If this value is set lower than the previous value, files are never compressed, but deleted directly. The default value for this is 180 days (i.e. approx. 6 months). When setting this and the previous value, consider the available disk space on the Swivel server. Also bear in mind that logs will fill up more quickly on busier servers.
• Tidy log file schedule: Specifies when the service that tidies up log files will be run. By default, it is run once a day. Files are tidied according to the settings above: files older than the specified times will be compressed or deleted.If you turn this option off (by setting the schedule to Never), log files will never be deleted.
• Debug enabled: this option is no longer used: there are no debug log events.
