Estimated reading: 3 minutes 469 views

This section describes how to change the settings for the different logs. This will affect the numbers of logs on the PC, the size, the level of logging and where to place the log files. This can be configured to limit and location the log data on the PC overall. To enforce custom settings, the XML files will need to either be overwritten post-install or replaced in the msi package. By default, the logon and Com Components, logs in the System TEMP folder – usually c:\windows\temp\. The log file for the EEC client is placed in the user’s TEMP folder.

Customizing log settings for the logon component

The log settings can be customized in the following file: PMWindowsClient.log4cpp.config and can be found at: FastPassCorp\Configuration\PMWindowsClient

How the files look like by default

log4cpp.rootCategory=All, fileLog
log4cpp.appender.fileLog=DailyRollingFileAppender
log4cpp.appender.fileLog.maxDaysKeep=7 log4cpp.appender.fileLog.fileName=PMWindowsClientKiosk.log
log4cpp.appender.fileLog.layout=PatternLayout
log4cpp.appender.fileLog.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S.%l} [%-10u] [%-8t] [%-12p] %m%n

Setting the Log File level

Setting the Log File path for the pmwindowsclientkiosk.log

MyPass Windows Client log can be configured to log in another place default.log4cpp.appender.fileLog.fileName=PMWindowsClientKiosk.log. By default, this is placed in the executing users temp folder, usually c:\Windows\Temp. By changing the log4cpp.appender.fileLog.file Name attributes can be pointed to any folder. When changing the default location, some considerations should be taken into account. If any end-users are to run RDP client, this client will by default be in in the end-users context. If the end-user is not allowed to write a log file, the client will fail – hence will RDP. This means and the file needs to be writable by all users using the machine.
