You may wish to disable target logging on your scan engine, either to boost performance, or to save disk space on the computer hosting the scan engine.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Open the folder C:\Program Files\iQuate\iQSonar ScanEngine 4.0\bin in file explorer
  2. Using Notepad or any other text editor, edit the file iQuate.iQSonar.ScanEngine.exe.config
    This is an XML configuration file. Scroll down to line 114 and comment out the line for TargetFileAppender
    So
<appender-ref ref="TargetFileAppender"/>

      Becomes

  <!--       <appender-ref ref="TargetFileAppender"/> -->

3. Restart the service


Enable Target Logging

Starting with the Gwynn R3 release, target logging was turned OFF by default. To enable target logging again, we reverse the step above. So we remove the comments around <appender-ref ref="TargetFileAppender"/

Remove comments
    <appender-ref ref="TargetFileAppender"/>
