Log Files

The UI is the normal method for the examination of scanning operations. A (text) log file can prove useful for remote diagnosis of scan engine problem. The log files provide a detailed list of what is happening while the scan is running. Any errors that have occurred can be found there.
The log files are broken down into two types:

  • Scan Service Logging
  • File Name: Service.log
  • Additional Overflow File Name: Service.log.N (Where is N is a number between 1 and 10).
  • The logs associated with the overall scan operation. When a file gets too large a new file is created and the original file is renamed to service.log.N
  • Individual Target Specific Logging
  • File Name: Target-W.X.Y.Z.log (Where W.X.Y.Z is an IP address of the target)
  • The logs associated with the operations applied on an individual target.
