4.10 Logging


Liquid UI offers a logging option. When logging is turned on, you can write the Liquid UI log to a file. This file can then be emailed to Synactive for debugging. Logs will be saved in the Applications directory on the device and are saved in a TXT format:

Functionality

The way logging functions is as follows:

  1. When you turn logging on, an empty logfile will be created on the device.
  2. All data is written to this single logfile until the file reaches one megabyte.
  3. When the orginal file reaches one megabyte, it will be converted to a backup file and a new empty logfile will be created.
  4. Once the second file reaches one megabyte, the existing backup will be deleted, the current file will be converted to a backup and a new empty logfile will be created.
Note: Only two logfiles may exist on the device at one time - one backup and one current log.

Note: Once logging is turned off, Liquid UI will immediately stop sending data to the logfile. However any existing logfiles will not be deleted unless you uninstall the Liquid UI client. Turn logging back on to resume sending data to the logfiles.
