Logs
Table of Contents
Logs are files where history of certain events performed through or detected by WinRoute are recorded and kept.
Each log is displayed in a window in the Logs section. Each event is represented by one record line. The lines contain time information in brackets (date and time when the event started) followed by information about the event according to the log type.
Events of individual logs can be optionally saved to files on a local drive and/or to a Syslog server.
Locally, the logs are saved in the files under the logs subdirectory where WinRoute is installed. The file names have this pattern:
file_name.log
(e.g. debug.log). Each log also includes a file with the .idx extension. This index file enables smoother access to logs in the Kerio Administration Console.
Individual logs can be rotated after a certain time period or when a threshold of the file size is reached, log files are stored and new events are logged to a new (empty) file.
Storing logs in files enables permanent backup of logs (by copying them to another directory). Logs can be also analyzed using various analysis tools.
