logging

Controls the task of logging information. It is possible to specify multiple values separated by comma or semicolon. Currently the following values are supported:

console (or c): Output to the console

debug (or d): Output to a debug listener

eventlog (or e): Output to the Windows event log (only under Windows)

file (or f): Output to a file

If this parameter is not specified, logging is done with the mode "console,debug". If the Connect application runs as a Windows DiestService, the mode "console,debug,eventlog" is used.

loghost

Only when logging to the Windows event log:

If the output is to be to the event log of another host, the name of the desired host can be specified here. Please note that the user running the Connect Launcher must have the appropriate rights to write to the event log of this host.

logname

Only when logging to the Windows event log:

If the output is not to be in the "Application" log, the desired log name can be specified here. The string {ProcessName} is automatically replaced by the name of the logging process.

logsource

Only when logging to the Windows event log:

If a source other than ".NET Runtime" is to be used for output, the desired source name can be specified here. The string {ProcessName} is automatically replaced by the name of the logging process.

logdir

Only when logging to a file:

This parameter specifies the directory where the log files are created. If a fully qualified file name for the log is specified by means of the logfile parameter, the logdir parameter is ignored.

It is recommended to always specify this parameter if logging to a file is desired. Otherwise, log files could be written to the program directory if the appropriate permission exists.

logfile

Only when logging to a file:

This parameter specifies the name of the generated log file. If it is a fully qualified file name, the logdir parameter is ignored.

If this parameter is not specified, a name is generated from the process name and the UTC timestamp.
