Logs<br />

Logs keep information records of selected events occurred in <strong>Kerio</strong> Control or detected by<br />

<strong>Kerio</strong> Control. Each log is displayed in a window in the Logs section.<br />

Each event is represented by one record line. Each line starts with a time mark in brackets (date<br />

and time when the event took place, in seconds). This mark is followed by an information,<br />

depending on the log type. If the record includes a URL, it is displayed as a hypertext link.<br />

Follow the link to open the page in your default browser.<br />

Optionally, records of each log may be recorded in files on the local disk 7 and/or on the Syslog<br />

server.<br />

Locally, the logs are saved in the files under the logs subdirectory where <strong>Kerio</strong> Control is<br />

installed. The file names have this pattern:<br />

file_name.log<br />

(e.g. debug.log). Each log includes an .idx file, i.e. an indexing file allowing faster access to<br />

the log when displayed in Administration Console.<br />

Individual logs can be rotated — after a certain time period or when a threshold of the file size<br />

is reached, log files are stored and new events are logged to a new (empty) file.<br />

Administration Console allows to save a selected log (or its part) in a file as plaintext or in<br />

HTML. The log saved can be analyzed by various tools, published on web servers, etc.<br />

22.1 Log settings<br />

Log parameters (file names, rotation, sending to a Syslog server) can be set in the Configuration<br />

→ Accounting section. In this section of the guide an overview of all logs used by <strong>Kerio</strong> Control<br />

are provided.<br />

Double-click on a selected log (or select a log and click on the Edit button) to open a dialog<br />

where parameters for the log can be set.<br />

The local disk is a drive of the host where <strong>Kerio</strong> Control is installed, not a disk of the host you perform the adminis-<br />

tration on!<br />
