Logging Configuration
The Logging Configuration page allows you to control and view server logging in the form of an operational log and an optional command auditing log. The operational log includes message about server initialization, console session startup, client connection and disconnection and any errors experienced while the server is running. This log is the usual starting point in diagnosing problems.
