log

Syntax -log num_entries

Description This setting tells PopChart Server to keep a log of the latest transactions. This log is different from the one kept by the PopChart Server Administration Console. It is also in addition to the hourly usage report that PopChart Server keeps by itself. You should investigate both of those settings before deciding to use this setting. For more information, refer to "Using the Server Log and Console Output" in Chapter 3 of the PopChart Server User Guide.

The -log setting should be followed by a number, num_entries, indicating how many transactions to keep track of. Only the num_entries most recent transactions will be kept in the log. All others will be removed. Remember when setting this size that, especially when -debug or -debugverbose is set, each transaction can be very large. You should therefore keep this number small. Between 40 and 100 is usually adequate.

The log can be accessed from a web browser by requesting the page: http://yourserver/?@_LOG@_PWpassword, where yourserver is the address and port that your PopChart Server is running on, and password is the password you specified in the Administration Console or with the - pw setting. For security reasons, you must supply a password in order to view the log.

You may find it useful to use the - debug or - debugverbose setting in conjuction with -log.
