VMware DEM SyncTool logging

If 'Create VMware DEM SyncTool log file' is enabled, a 'FlexSync.log' file is created in the configured Local Sync Path.

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 maximum log file size is set to 0, the file will grow indefinitely.

To centrally log the most important sync status, enable 'Create central sync status log file'. A file named 'FlexSyncStatus-%COMPUTERNAME%.log' will be created during logoff, in the same folder as the log file of FlexEngine. If a maximum size is specified, the sync status log file will be truncated as specified. If the maximum size is set to 0, the file will grow indefinitely.

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