The Management Console Tree contains logger and appender nodes that create log files. The system loggers create the audit trail, rule, and server logs. You can add custom loggers to the Management Console tree that you use in security rules to specify events that you want to log. You can add appender nodes under loggers to specify how and where to log the event information. Set the Log Level property of the Dynamic Data Masking Server to specify the severity level of the events that you want to log.

You can use the log files to identify a problem with the Dynamic Data Masking Server, and to monitor and troubleshoot problems a Dynamic Data Masking service.

In addition to the system loggers, Dynamic Data Masking creates the following log files:

<year>_<month>.at

DDMError.txt
