Use this tab to configure Visualizer client logging and
hyperlink settings. Configuring preferences here only affects settings
for the local Visualizer client. If you change to any of these settings,
exit, reopen, and login to the Visualizer to see the changes.
- Log Settings
- Select the check box to turn on Visualizer client logging or clear
the check box to turn off client logging. Typically, you only enable
Visualizer client logging if you are working with your system administrator
to resolve an error message or problem that occurred during your Visualizer
session. By default, Visualizer client logging is turned off.
- Log detail level
- Select the level of logging detail, only available if Visualizer
client logging is on. The level of detail controls how much information
is collected in the Visualizer log as you use the Visualizer. Consult
your system administrator before making a selection. Typically, you
turn on logging to troubleshoot a problem in the Visualizer, so usually
you select the debugging level, which is the highest level
of logging detail. The debugging level logs every action and message
that occur while you use the Visualizer. But this log level also fills
up the Visualizer client log file very quickly, so you might need
to occasionally clear the log file. This is the reason that you usually
turn off logging when the problem is resolved.
- Log file directory path
- Specify the file and directory location of the Visualizer client
log files. Typically, you only need to review log files when you are
troubleshooting a message or problem. Log files can fill up with information
quickly, especially at the debugging level. If Visualizer client logging
is turned on, you might occasionally need to purge the log files to
prevent the files from becoming too large.
- Hyperlink Handling Settings
- Select an option to determine what program or browser the Visualizer
uses to open and display hyperlinks. Incoming identity records can
contain hyperlinks, which can direct you to other files, Web sites,
or systems that contain identity or entity information relevant to
your analysis. Hyperlinks are part of the identity record and display
on the entity resume and the entity resolution graph as attributes.
- If you experience problems or issues when clicking a hyperlink,
select the Use program option and specify which
browser or program to use to open hyperlinks. For example, if your
organization stores fingerprint files on a secure Web site (https://),
use this option to specify your Web browser or other program to open
links that go to the fingerprint files secure site.
