Logging
Previous  Top  Next

FACSys Adminstrator's can choose the types of FACSys Services that they wish to monitor on their Fax Server. By selecting the specific service (using the drop down box), the service logs can be sent to the Windows Event Viewer, or to the FACSys Log files (or both).

Logging Options
 
Send email notification to administrator when alerts or warning messages are generated by this server – Enabling this option causes the fax server to send an email message to the FACSys administrator when a FACSys alert threshold is reached or a warning message is posted to the Event Log. The notification message will be sent to the FACSys administrator's email address (as defined in the FACSys user profile).  
   
Enable output to this server's information log file – Enabling this option causes the fax server to post its activity information to the Fax Server Log file (~fxs log) located in the FACSys program directory on the fax server. This log file is useful for troubleshooting fax server routing and other issues.    
 
Service Based LogLevels
 
Logfile:      _____ Error   _____ Warning   _____ Information  
   
EventLog:    _____ Error   _____ Warning   _____ Information  
 
Using this area, FACSys Administrators can determine the "level of logging" on their FACSys Server.  
This is especially beneficial in diagnosing and correcting a problem.  
Logfiles are stored in c:\Program Files\FACSys\FACSys Services\Logfiles (if FACSys is installed in the default location)  
All logfile names start with ~fx.  
·~fxm is the FACSys Fax Manager Service  
·~fxr is the FACSys Fax Rendering Service  
·~fxs is the FACSys Fax Server Service  
·~fxg is the FACSys Fax Gateway Service  
Next, the log names include the year, month and date of the log.  
   
If the EventLogs are enabled, the logging will appear in the Windows Event Viewer (in the application Log?)
