Specifying the log file location in Manager

You can use ArcGIS Server Manager to specify where ArcGIS Server should write its log files.

Steps:
  1. Click GIS Server in Manager and click Log Files.
  2. Click Server Log Properties.
  3. Type a location to set the path for the log files.
  4. Set the maximum file size for an individual log file. 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.
