Log parameters for configuration file

There are several log parameters available for configuration as you set up and use IXIA CCMS.

Field

Description

Recommended value

/log 
   /DaysOfLogToPreserve
Specifies the number of days for which logs with prepend dates will be kept. For example, if DaysOfLogToPreserve is set to 7, then the logs from the past 7 days will be kept. Note that this does not mean that the last 7 files will be kept; for example, if the server was down for two days, then logs for only five days will be available.

To keep all the logs, enter 0.

Note: PrependDate must be set to True to enable this parameter. If PrependDate is set to False, this parameter is ignored.

Keep the default value: 30 to keep logs for the past 30 days.

/log 
   /LogCalls
Used to trace API calls to the TEXTML Server. When set to True, API calls (for example, GetDocuments) are logged along with the time they took in seconds. Information is written to the file specified with the LogCallsFilename parameter.

Enter False.

/log 
   /LogCallsFilename
Specifies the file name where API call statistics will be logged (the system automatically adds the .txt extension) when the LogCalls parameter is set to True. The TEXTML Server creates the logcalls directory relative to the configuration file's folder.
Enter the name of the log file; for example:
log/logcalls
/log 
   /LogCallsDaysToPreserve
Specifies the number of days for which call logs will be kept. For example, if LogCallsDaysToPreserve is set to 30, then the logs from the past 30 days will be kept. Note that this does not mean that the last 30 files will be kept; for example, if the server was down for two days, then logs for only 28 days will be available.

To keep all the logs, enter 0.

Note: PrependDate must be set to True to enable this parameter. If PrependDate is set to False, this parameter is ignored.

Keep the default value: 30 to keep logs for the past 30 days.
