Change Output Settings
This function from the main Platform Administration view lets you adjust (tune) the amount and content of the platform daemon output.
You do this by changing the log filter settings of the various daemon processes.

Logs
By default, all daemon processes have a message log filter level, and include the following:
- niagarad — Log for the platform daemon (niagarad) process, with high level entries like
niagarad starting,baja home = ...,niagarad stopping. - webserver — Log for HTTP server for incoming platform client connections. Entries are often generic, before the daemon hands off to the appropriate platform servlet.
- stationregistry — Log for platform daemon management of stations, including startup, shutdown, and watchdog actions.
- logfilter — Logs changes to daemon log states, meaning it tracks the changes made in this window.
- updatedaemon — Log for handling
- file — Logs requests made to the platform daemon’s file servlet, used in platform views like the File Transfer Client, Commissioning Wizard, Software Manager, Station Copier, and so on. Many different things can print on this log, such as
request for filexxx, andwrote filexxx. - qnxosupdate — Log for the OS upgrade servlet created by the platform daemon.
os crc isn’t right, andwaitpid when launching osupdate command failed. - reboot — Log for the reboot servlet, one of the servlets the platform daemon manages.
- appOut — Log for the thread managing buffers associated with station output, making that output visible in the Application Director view. Entries may reflect buffer size changes (available in Application Director interface), or if a problem occurs streaming
the output to
