Hi All  
I’m trying to track the status of the client connections made with my OPC-UA server. I have a feeling that the connections are dropping I’m reconnecting more often than I should. It would be really helpful to go through the logs for the OPC-UA module, in particular, to know when the client connections are made and the errors associated with it. Could you help me in creating detailed logging for the above-mentioned purpose?  
If there is any other way to diagnose this issue please let me know. TIA

Cheers  
Sam

Hi Sam,  
I have a similar requirement - did you ever manage to find a solution? I have a situation where some client is changing the value of a tag via the OPC-UA server and I need to find out which client is responsible. Detailed logs would be really useful.  
Regards,  
Ian.
