About the CloudLink log files

CloudLink generates a number of log files each day to log the events and actions that are associated with the tasks that run on that day.

CloudLink generates each day's log files in a date-stamped subfolder of the Logs folder. The path for the Logs folder is specified on the CloudLink Report Management configuration page. The default path is typically:

C:\Program Files\ArchiveTools\CloudLink\Logs\yyyymmdd

For example, for 18 February 2014:

C:\Program Files\ArchiveTools\CloudLink\Logs\20140218

Note:

Only local administrators can access the Logs folder, assuming that the CloudLink service account is a member of the local Administrators group. Otherwise only local administrators and domain administrators can access the Logs folder.

Table: CloudLink logs lists the details of the log files that CloudLink generates.
