Viewing Status Logs

A number of log files are created by rcServer as a part of it's normal operations. Some are enabled by the user by selecting Edit | Preferences and then the TCP/IP Settings tab.

A standard dialog is used to view all of these files. A typical log view would appear as the dialog below:

The dialog features a pop-up menu that allows you to save the log as a different file with the file name of your choosing, if desired. The pop-up menu also allows you to refresh the display on-demand (useful if more data has been logged since displaying a given log file).

All log files (if enabled) have data appended to them and content is never eliminated from the file. As a result, the files can grow to significant size over time. It is recommended that you enable logging of debug information only if necessary as large amounts of data are placed in debug files.
