Details of "Logs" tab

Managing the log file

The WEBDEV administrator is used to manage a specific log file allowing you to follow the traffic statistics.
  • Generate a log file (.log) in the directory:
    This option allows you to generate a log file (".LOG" extension) used to see the traffic statistics of WEBDEV sites via WDStatistic. See the help about WDStatistic for more details.
    The location of the log file can be specified in the edit control.
    This option can be modified for each site in the "Sites" tab.
  • Save in the global file and in the file of each application:
    This option is used to save the statistics in the log files of both the application and the server. Indeed, if the log file is defined both at server level and at application level ("Sites" tab), information may be "lost". The table below presents the different possible cases:
    Application log
    Server log
    "Save in the global file and in the file of each application" option checked
    Result
    NoNoAnyNo log
    NoYesAnyBackup in the server log
    YesNoAnyBackup in the application log
    YesYesNoBackup in the application log
    YesYesYesBackup in the server log and in the application log
Remark: If the log file is enabled, the error log can be viewed in the "logs" tab of the administrator.
