Before You Start Logging Events

Before you begin logging events, choose the events you want to capture and display. You can show all types of events from all of the event sources that you select for logging, or you can display a subset of these. For example:

•	You can restrict the logged entries to events of a particular severity

•	You can restrict the size of your log file

To select the sources of events to log

1.	On the File menu, click Log Settings.

2.	By default, all the check boxes in the Event sources list are selected, and the log file records events from all Mobility components.

To exclude events from one or more sources from the log file, clear the check box next to components that you do not wish to record.

To specify the severity of events to log

1.	On the File menu, click Log Settings.

2.	The log file records the selected types of events.

Debug messages generate the most logging activity, causing Mobility to constantly refresh the log file. Logging these messages requires additional memory. Select this option only if required for a specific task, and disable it when no longer needed.

To set the maximum event log size

1.	On the File menu, click Log Settings.

2.	In the Event buffer box, select the maximum size of the log file buffer. When the log file reaches its maximum, new events wrap to the beginning of the file.

If you have sufficient memory and want to minimize disk activity, increase the buffer size. If you have limited system memory, decrease this value.
