The ILLiad client is configured for logging using a log.config xml file. To assist with troubleshooting and feedback, the amount of data collected in the log can be adjusted to include more detailed information. You can adjust the level of information gathered by manually editing the xml file or by changing settings in the Log Configuration section of the ILLiad client. You can also change the log file name or the directory it logs to, access the log file directory, and restore the default logging configuration conveniently from within the client.
Changing Logging Settings
In the ILLiad Client, you can turn on debug logging as well as view the location of the log file and restore the default log settings.
- Click the Main Menu Icon (
) in the top left corner of the ILLiad Client. - Click the Options button.
- To enable debug logging, check the Enable debug logging box.
- To view the log file, click Open Log File Location.
- To restore the default debug logging options, click Restore Default Logging Configuration.
Because using Debug can increase the number of log entries by quite a bit, the setting should be changed back to Info by unchecking the box as soon as troubleshooting is finished.
