Logging

Starting with version 0.5.0.2003, logs are available to support user in case of unwanted behavior.

Basic logs

Every time you start the app, errors and unhandled exceptions are logged. You will find those logs in the sub folder "\logs".

Verbose logs

In case of need, you can activate the verbose log very easily : just add the starting parameter

-loglevel=trace

This level will log almost everything and therefore create large log files, so it's better not to keep this activated at all time.

Add a starting parameter

Follow those steps to add the verbose logs starting parameter :

1. Open the folder where you put the app files,
2. Right click on the 'InvvardDev.EZLayoutDisplay.Desktop.exe',
3. In the contextual menu, click on 'Create shortcut',
4. Right click on the newly created shortcut,
5. Click on 'Properties',
6. Locate the textbox labeled 'Target',
7. At the end, right after the '.exe', add ' -loglevel=trace' (as always, without the quotes),
8. Apply and close the properties window.

You're all setup. Now, just start the app by double clicking on the shortcut and you'll be good to go !

Archives

Logs are on a 7-day log roll. That means every log file older than 7 days will be archived in the subfolder /logs/archived. If you need to free some space, you can safely delete this
