Setting Visualizer log options

You can turn Visualizer client logging on or off by configuring Visualizer log options. By default, Visualizer client logging is turned off. Generally, you only turn on Visualizer client logging to assist you and your administrator with troubleshooting.

About this task
These settings are configured for each Visualizer client. By using this task, you only change the logging options for the Visualizer you are currently logged in to.
  1. In the Visualizer, click File > Preferences > Log and Link Settings.
  2. Do one of the following actions in the Turn on logging check box:
    • Select the check box to turn on Visualizer client logging.
    • Clear the check box to turn off Visualizer client logging.
  3. If you turned on logging, specify the type of logging by selecting an option in Log detail level. If you are not sure which level to select, consult your system administrator. Because generally, you only turn on Visualizer client logging to troubleshoot a problem, you typically select the debugging level. The debug level logs every action that you take in the Visualizer and every message (error, warning, or informational) that occurs. This logging level quickly fills the Visualizer log file, which means you might need to occasionally delete the file.
  4. In Log file directory path:
    • Enter the path to store Visualizer log files.
    • Or browse to the directory and select it.
  5. Click Submit. A confirmation message informs you that you must restart the Visualizer before your changes take effect.
  6. In the confirmation message, click OK.
  7. Close the Visualizer, restart the Visualizer, and log in again.
