Can someone explain the difference in following files contained in Ignitions log folder to me?
system_log.idb
wrapper.log.#
Many Thanks .
The first one is a SQLite file containing the encoded form of everything logged within Ignition.
The second one is the text format captured from Ignition's stdout and stderr pipes, with additional information provided by the TanukiSoft wrapper.
I tend to use tail -f on the latter, as some diagnostics (like simple print calls) do not go through java's loggers.

The wrapper log is a strict superset of the system logs, but collapses formatting information to plain text.
Both can be opened by many off the shelf tools. If you want a nice GUI (for either file) you can use Kindling:
