Specifying the log file location in ArcCatalog

You can use ArcCatalog or the Catalog window in ArcMap to specify where ArcGIS Server should write its log files.

Steps:

1. In the Catalog tree, right-click the name of the GIS server for which you want to view or modify the log file location.
2. Click the General tab.
3. Type a Log file path or click the browse button to set the location for the log files.
4. Set the maximum Log file size. When a log file reaches this size, the server will create a new one.
5. Set the Log level. To learn what's included in the different levels, see Interpreting log files.
6. Choose whether to set a limit on the number of log file pairs (consisting of the companion .xml and .dat files) that can be stored in the log directory. When the limit is reached, the oldest log file pair will be deleted. Setting a limit can prevent the log directory from growing bigger than expected.
7. Click OK to save your settings.
