About Managing Logs

The Log tab displays server activities recorded by the FYI Administration Console Server and the FYI Server. Activities include user log on and off time, administrative jobs such as database packing and indexing, and detected errors.

Server activities are automatically saved as text files in the server's Working Path folder. These log files can be read by text editor program and imported into a spreadsheet or database for future analysis. The log files can also be reloaded back into the FYI Admin Console for review.

The default directory for the Working Path folder is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\CloudNine\FYI Server 5\Working Path (Windows XP) or C:\ProgramData\CloudNine\FYI Server 5\Working Path (Windows 7)
