Trace Log

The trace log is a text file where diagnostic messages from the Data Vault are written. You can analyze the trace log to troubleshoot a problem in the Data Vault.

The information contained in a trace log is exactly the same as what would be written to the standard log at the highest level of detail, which includes error messages, configuration parameters, server messages, and internal system trace information. The trace log and the standard log are independent of each other, so they can be enabled at the same time.

As with the standard log, the trace log can be limited by file size or time period, and the number of trace logs to retain can be configured.

By default, the trace log is not enabled.

The following table describes the parameters related to the trace log. They are set in the SERVER section of the ssa.ini file:

Parameter	Description
TRACELOG	Enables or disables trace logging.
TRACELOGLIMIT_FILESIZE	The maximum file size for the trace log file.
TRACELOGLIMIT_TIME	The time limit for the trace log, in number of minutes, hours, days, or months.
TRACELOGLIMIT_MAXFILES	The total number of trace log files to retain.
