The VMP Server log files provide
information on actions performed by the VMP Server. This can be useful if
an unexpected error occurs. You can control what goes into these log files.
The server log files are stored in the WIC\Logs subfolder of the folder in
which the VMP Server is
installed. By default, this is C:\Program Files\Vocera\WIC\Logs.
You can use the VMP Enterprise Manager to specify what
message levels are to appear in log files.
-
From the VMP Server, start the
VMP Enterprise Manager.
Start > All Programs > VMP > VMP Enterprise Manager
-
Select Configuration.
The Configuration window appears.
-
Scroll down to the Logging section.
-
Click in the Value column of the Limit log
messages to VMP Log File field. From the dropdown list that appears,
select one of the following:
Table 1. Logging options
Option |
Description |
Do not log |
Do not write to the log files. |
Write all events |
Keep a record of all VMP Server events.
|
Warnings and Errors |
Write only warnings and errors to the log files. |
Errors |
Write only errors to the log files. |
-
Click Save to save your change.
Important: In a live environment, you should not set Limit log
messages to VMP Log File to Write all events and
set Enable extended communication logging to
true, as this may cause patient-sensitive data to be written
to the log files. The Enable extended communication logging
setting appears when you click
Advanced Options.
In the event of a failover scenario, the VMP Server log files include a
log entry describing the failover to a standby server and the startup details for the
new active node. For more information on clustered environments and failover, see High Availability and VMP.
