All software components have a built-in automatic log file generator. The generator is enabled whenever a special file called logging.config is detected.

To enable logging:

1. Locate a suitable logging.config file and copy it into the clipboard. This will be:
   • In the installation folder of the software component and called logging.config.disabled (or some other name that distinguishes it from logging.config), or
   • In a sub-folder of the installation folder.
   • Alternatively, you might be sent the file by a technical support representative.
2. Close the application you want to log.
   • For clients, exit the application.
   • For servers or NVR components, stop the service controlling the application.
3. If necessary, paste the logging.config file into the installation folder. (If necessary, rename it so that it is called logging.config.)
4. Start the application to be logged.

Note that a log-roll.txt file will appear in one of the following locations, depending on your operating system: (the following examples are for the Client)

• Vista/Windows 7: C:\Program Data\CSLogging\View
• Windows XP/Server 2003: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\CSLogging\View
