TraceWorX Configurator Settings

You can use TraceWorX Configurator to enable trace logging for specific GENESIS components and configure other settings regarding what should be logged.

TraceWorX Configuration User Interface

You can configure the following settings.

Trace Option

Description

Category

Lists the available components (applications and services). You can enable tracing separately for each application/service. Typically, you would only enable tracing for the component(s) related to the functionality that you want to diagnose.

Trace Level

Determines the amount of diagnostic detail to log for the corresponding component. See Trace Levels for more information.

Current Log

Shows the current size of the log file in megabytes. The button opens the log file in Trace Viewer, while the drop-down list contains additional options:
- Open log file: Opens the log file in Trace Viewer.
- Delete log file: Moves the log file the recycle bin.
- Compress log file: Saves the log file in the .zip format to the selected location.
- Open file location: Opens the log folder in Windows Explorer.

Max Size

Limits the file size of a log file in megabytes. If the log file reaches this value, a new log file (part) is created, and the oldest parts are deleted.

You can enter 0 to allow the log file to grow indefinitely, but be aware that logging at Debug or Debug Verbose level for extended periods of time could result in extremely large log files.

Max Parts

Specifies the number of log parts (previous log files) to preserve.

Log File Path

Specifies the path to the file where the diagnostic data is stored. By default, all trace logs are written to the same folder with a file name based on the name of the component being logged. To browse for an alternative file location, click in the desired field in this column and select .
