FlexEngine logging

Use this setting to configure the location and name of the FlexEngine log file.

It is recommended to use a generic path here which is specific for each user (e.g. \\Filesrv\DemUsers$\%username%\Logs\FlexEngine.log). If you specify a subdirectory that does not exist, FlexEngine will automatically create it for each user as soon as logging occurs.

The log level controls the level of detail that is logged. It is not recommended to use 'Debug' or 'Info' in production, as the amount of logging information can impact the performance.

If a maximum log file size is specified, the log file will be recreated once that size is reached. If the log file size is set to 0, the file will grow indefinitely.

Supported on: At least Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
