Component trace logging properties (General tab)

The General tab on the component properties page displays the generic properties that apply to all Trace Logging components. The following topics describe these general properties.

Name
Displays the name of the trace logging component.
Type
Identifies the type of node. In Trace Logging, all nodes are Trace Component nodes.
Log Location
Indicates the path name of the component log files' physical storage location. The default location is the system's temporary folder on the local server.

NOTE  The log files must reside on the local server to prevent network traffic from slowing down performance.

To specify a different log file location on the local server, type the folder path to that location in the field or click Browse... to select an available folder. This field only accepts a local folder path. It does not accept UNC network paths that would enable remote folder locations using the server name.
Size
Describes the combined size (in KB or MB) for all the component's log files.
Contains
Displays the total number of log files in the component.
Log File Options
Includes the fields for setting parameters for log files:
