TANDBERG V 11.8 - Manual (Page 39)

38 39
To control the logging of TANDBERG Exchange Integration, the registry is used.
This is used both to disable logging, and control the amount of events that are
logged.
All values are stored in the ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tandberg\
TANDBERG Management Suite Exchange Integration’ hive. All values in this hive
are strings (REG_SZ).
To specify the log directory, set the destination path in the string ‘Log directory’.
The actual logging is controlled by two different values for each component.
LogLevel and LogMode. Add the values LogLevel and LogMode
, where can be CalendarSink, Synchronizer, Confer-
enceAPI, ConfigureResources, SetupApp, TMSExchangeSetup or InboxSink.
The Loglevel value is used for controlling the amount of events that are logged
for a particular component, and LogMode is used to determine if the Exchange
Integration will log to file or OutputDebugString. Use the freely downloadable
DebugView ( http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Miscellaneous/De-
bugView.mspx ) from Sysinternals to view output to OutputDebugstring.
To control the LogLevel, the following data is valid for the LogLevel values:
Value Meaning
-2 Off
- Errors only
0 Errors and Info (Default)
023 Full log for debugging
E.g. LogLevel ConferenceAPI = “023” will turn on full logging for the Confer-
enceAPI component.
To control the LogMode, the following data is valid for the LogMode values:
Value Meaning
Log to file (Default)
2 Log to OutputDebugstring
Log size and rotation
To prevent the logs from getting too big, taking up too much disc space, the user
can control the maximum size and rotation of the logs. This is done globally, so all
logs share the same rotation and sizing rules.
The ‘Log Size’ value is used to control size. The log size is a string where the max-
imum size of log files is set in bytes. E.g ‘Log Size’ data can be set to ‘10485760’
for 10MB log files. This is the default value.
The rotating works as follows. When the log of a particular component increases
over the max size, the log will be renamed with a .bak extension. Then a new log
will be created with the same name.
E.g. the ConferenceAPI.log will be renamed to ConferenceAPI.bak when the size
limit is met. If a ConferenceAPI.bak file already exists, this will be deleted first.
After this, a new log with the name ConferenceAPI.log will be created.
