Logging the actions that the server takes is particularly useful during the development process and when troubleshooting. Verbose output is not recommended for normal operation of a production environment because it can slow performance.
Selected logging output is sent to the MobiLink server messages window. In addition, you can send the output to a message log file using the -o option. The following command sends output to a message log file named mlsrv.log.
mlsrv17 -o mlsrv.log -c ...You can control the size of message log files, and specify what you want done when a file reaches its maximum size with the following options:
Use the -o option to specify that a message log file should be used.
Use the -ot option to specify that a message log file should be used and you want the previous contents of the file to be deleted before messages are sent to it.
In addition to -o or -ot, use the -on option to specify the size at which the message log file is renamed with the extension .old and a new file is started with the original name. This option limits the total disk space taken up by the message log files.
In addition to -o or -ot, use the -os option to specify the size of old message log files when they are assigned a new name based on the date and a sequential number.
You can control what information is logged to the message log file and displayed in the MobiLink server messages window using the -v option.
You can control which warning messages are reported using the mlsrv17 -zw, -zwd, and -zwe options.
