Log and Link Settings tab

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.
