Configuring station log history

When looking at a station’s output, you are usually troubleshooting. As part of troubleshooting, you should always check the station’s log histories, which should contain recently recorded station errors and (if configured) warnings. This information may help when evaluating live output from the station.

You are connected to a platform and its running station. The station has been configured with the LogHistoryService.
  1. Expand Station > Config > Services and double-click LogHistoryService.
    The LogHistoryService’s AX Property Sheet opens.
  2. Expand History Config and Last Record.
    All properties are available for configuration.

    By default, the log level property Minimum Severity is set to Info. This is the minimum message type to be sent from station output to the log.

  3. You may wish to change this to Warning.
    The station maintains a buffered history (LogHistory) of some of the messages seen in the station’s standard output.
