Technical Log

SOFiE manages a log, where all the errors/warnings messages generated by the program are saved. It can be accessed in two ways:

by opening a "logDailyRoll.log" file in the folder "...\logs\" with a text editor.
A technical log file follows the naming convention "logDailyRoll.log._<ParticipantID>.<TimestampYYYY-MM_DD>"
Therefore a new log file is created everyday (if any activity is present during the day) and for each user profile used.

We recommend to backup the log folder regularly in order to keep track of all your activities.
by the SOFiE GUI menu "Tools->Display Log Console":

Each message is labeled with a log level value among "DEBUG", "INFO", "WARN", "ERROR", "FATAL". The levels are described in the table:

Log Level	Description
« DEBUG »	Detailed information about the processing Used in development, testing or to find and resolve a particular problem in the processing.
« INFO »	Synthetic information about the processing Informs that a particular step in the processing has been executed Used to have an overview of the processing
« WARN »	A minor error has occured but the related process did finish correctly. The message should be investigated to find the precise root cause.
« ERROR »	An error occurs. The related process didn’t finish proprely.
« FATAL »	Critical error message that normaly ends up in a shutdown of SOFiE.
