Detail Forms:
The Log Settings form allows a system administrator to change the logging level of the application, terminals, and services while the programs are running. You can also view a log file from this form.
The logging level is the amount of information that is included in the program's log file. For example, you may only want to log errors or you may want to include warnings and more detailed general information about what the program is doing. You can also change the logging level of each component. For example, you may want to change the logging level of the application server to DEBUG, while keeping the logging levels of the other modules at ERROR.
By default, the application uses the logging settings in the <Trace> section of the config.xml file. These settings apply to the application, all services, and all terminals unless you specify otherwise in the Log Settings form.
The log files can be found in the \logs folder in your AUTOTIME_HOME folder.

The Logging Levels are:
OFF: Logging is turned off. No information will be recorded in the log files.

ERROR: Errors and fatal errors will be included in the log file. This is the default and recommended logging level.
WARN: Warnings, errors, and fatal errors will be included in the log file.
INFO: Information, warnings, errors, and fatal errors will be included in the log file.
DEBUG: Debugging information, other information, warnings, errors, and fatal errors will be included in the log file.
NOTE: The Info and Debug levels will produce very large log files.
