System logging

Location:

<WorkspaceDirectory>\LogFiles\nxaOPCSystem.35.log

Within this log file, all relevant event and system messages that are logged by the server application are stored. During server start up, a new, empty system log file is created by the server. However, the old system log files are not lost – after each server start up, the old system log file is renamed to "nxaOPCSystem.35.<timestamp>.log" where <timestamp> is the time of the current server start up. If an unexpected server behaviour or other problems during runtime are observed, this server log file is a good starting point for analysing the reason of the problem. Since almost all information of the server is logged within this file, analyzing this file helps to solve the issue in most cases.
