Wrapper Log or Gateway Log

[tohhy-pm17]

Hi guys, I have some question about the log in Ignition.

1. May I know that where is the Ignition Log store ? Based on my understanding the log will be store in the location that same with the Ignition Software which is the C drive Program Files.

2. Will the log store in my database ?

3. How often the wrapper log will be automatically delete ?

Thanks in advance.

There’s both a log in SQLite format, and the “wrapper.log”, which is a text file. There are settings in ignition.conf that control the rollover size and retention of the text file. I don’t recall if the SQLite size is controllable. Both files are under the install folder.

You should see a section like this: <appender name="DB" class="com.inductiveautomation.logging.SQLiteAppender"> <dir>logs</dir> <!-- Maintenance Settings entryLimit: The maximum number of entries in the database. However, at any given time, there may be more than this number, due to how cleanup works. maxEventsPerMaintenance: The number of event t…

To clarify - both the wrapper.log and the SQLite log will be in $installDirectory/logs unless you've configured things to use a different location.
