Log Database

Supported Database

HyWorks log database is set during installation and supports following two types of log databases:

  1. Microsoft SQL Server: Log database can be set on the same instance as HyWorks controller but it is preferable to have another instance. HyWorks will create a log database with name provided during installation and will write all logs in database created on SQL server. Location of database: On configured Microsoft SQL Server instance\Data folder

    HyWorks reads the logs from configured instance on Help > Logs page of HyWorks Controller Management Console.

  2. Embedded: (Microsoft SQL Server CE), a file-based database thought supported but not recommended. HyWorks keeps the logs file in .sdf format at following default location:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Accops\HyWorks\Service\Logs

Additional Logging

  1. Log Text Files: HyWorks as a standard process writes data on configured Log database but also writes logs in text files.

    a. All latest logs are written into EDCController.txt file and on reaching 50 MB size it archives it with name EDCController.txt.1.

    b. HyWorks keeps only 5 such files and deletes the oldest one while creating new one.

    c. These log files can be referred, when HyWorks controller management console is not accessible and logs can not be viewed from management console.

  2. Sending logs to external syslog server: To send HyWorks Controller logs to external syslog server, Syslog server configuration can be done from HyWorks Management Console -> System -> Syslog config section. Refer section Syslog Config for detailed information.
