Loggers

See Troubleshooting.

Logger files are often used when Troubleshooting Slowness or other technical issues. Contact Open Dental Support for assistance with Logger files.

Logger Folders

Logger files are normally found in the file path for the service being logged (e.g., OpenDentalService, OpenDentaleConnector) in a Logger folder. Within the Logger folder there may be additional folders for various processes the service performs. Logger files are located in the dated folders (e.g., 23-11-01)

The log level is generally changed in the config file for the application/service.
