Logging

By default, VertiGIS Studio Access Control log files are stored in the following location:

C:\ProgramData\Geocortex\Access Control\logs

 

You can control how much information is recorded in the log files by changing the logging level setting in the logSettings.json configuration file.

Log Levels

The following table summarizes the log levels supported by Access Control. All settings are case-sensitive.

Logging Level	Information Recorded in the Log
error	Error messages.
warn	Error and warning messages.
info	Error and warning messages, plus informational messages related to the progress of the application. This is the default setting.
debug	All of the above, plus detailed informational events useful for debugging the Access Control application.

Change the log level

To change the log level:

1. Navigate to the logSettings.json configuration file. By default, this file is located at:

   C:\ProgramData\Geocortex\Access Control\config\access-control\logSettings.json

2. Open the file in a text editor and change the loggingLevel setting as required. For example:

   "loggingLevel": "debug"

3. Save your changes.

Change the log location

To change the log location:

1. Navigate to the logSettings.json configuration file. By default, this file is located at:

    

   C:\ProgramData\Geocortex\Access Control\config\access-control\logSettings.json

    

2. Open the file in a text editor and set the logFileLocation setting to the full file path of the desired logs directory. For example:

    

   "logFileLocation": "D:\\logs"

   You may have to add the setting if it does not already exist.

   Backslash characters (\) in JSON files must be escaped, so you need to use a double backslash (\\) as the directory separators in the path.

3. Save your changes.

4. Open the Windows services.msc dialog and restart the VertiGIS Studio Access Control service.

   The log location is only read by Access Control when the service starts.
