Server Log Files

About Server Log

Occasionally, you may wish to view log information from the CES server. The Server Log tab gives you the ability to:

  • set log options, to determine what to log and what not to log
  • view the Debug Log, which contains a record of the debugging information
  • view the Access Log, which contains a record of CES Server access requests
  • view the Error Log, which contains a record of user and system errors

Using the Administration Utility you can change various aspects of the server. For more information, refer to:
