Settings



Use this dialog to chose which log items to record to the ThumbsPlus WebClient activity log. User Access records are written to the log file to record user login/logout and connection statuses.  Page access records are logged when a page is requested from the server.  Settings access records are logged when a user setting is accessed or stored (in wtusers.opt).  Application events are recorded to the log file when the WebClient server is started or stopped or certain administrator functions are performed.  Error events are recorded for Page and Settings access if an error condition is encountered.

The general log record format is:
MM/DD/YYYY-HH:MM:SS  [TYPEMessage text...

where MM/DD/YYYY-HH:MM:SS is the date and time of the log entry, [TYPE] is the record type related to the selected log setting, and Message text is the recorded log information text.  The respective log record types givien in order of the settings above are: [USR], [PAG], [SET], [APP], [ERR].  There is also a special log record type [***], which is always written to the log file for start up, shutdown and restart events.

Example:
05/01/2005-12:04:22 [USR] Client Poll: Is user logged in - User=[guest] IP=[65.30.93.191] LoggedIn= [1]

This dialog confirms that you want to clear the current ThumbsPlus WebClient activity Log.  The existing log content is archived to the logs subfolder under the WebClient installation folder.  The archived log file name will be of the form: TPWCAM-yyyy-mm-dd.log .  If this file already exists, the current activity log contents will be appended to the existing archive file.
