Logging Data Server events
The Data Server Panel’s
L
OGGING
page (figure
3-5
) allows you to set parameters to create
a logging criteria that records the status of Data Server events. The resulting logging
information is recorded and saved to a
DataServer*.log
file, which can be opened a
basic text editor to determine whether the Data Server is being used correctly or help
diagnose error conditions.

Be aware that logging may adversely affect the product’s performance, especially on air
performance. Therefore, we recommend enabling logging only when you are troubleshooting.
Figure 3-5. Data Server Panel’s Logging page
The Data Server’s
Logging
Levels
and
Debug Categories
settings allow you to specify the
type and categories of events that you want to be recorded in the Xmedia Server log files.
Log Level
This sets the default log level used by all logging categories except those that have been
checked in the Debug Categories list. The choices are:
•
Error
- Only log errors and essential operations.
•
Warn
- Log unsuccessful operations that may indicate a problem (in addition to all
messages logged at the Error level).
•
Info
- (Default) Log important events that occur during normal conditions (in addition to
all messages logged at the Warn level).
It is recommended to set the
Log Level
to
Info
in order to provide enough information in
the logs to diagnose common problems without affecting performance.
