Sender logging
RGS Sender logging is not controlled by a GUI—instead, Sender logging is controlled by a particular
file on the RGS Sender. In
Installing the RGS Sender on Windows on page 17, the following
command line option for Rgsender.exe is described:
-l logSetupFile—Specifies the "logSetupFile" file used to describe various logging parameters for
Sender error and informational output. This file is used to determine where the output goes (to a file
or to standard error) as well as the type of output logged (INFO or DEBUG). At installation, the
Sender default is with "-l logSetup" turned on, where the logSetup file in the installation directory is
set for output to a file named rg.log at INFO debug level.
Unless this command line option is used to change the logSetup file, the default logSetup file in the
Sender installation folder (C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Remote Graphics Sender) is used. The
first few lines of logSetup are shown in
Figure 5-5 logSetup file on page 40.
Figure 5-5 logSetup file
The highlighted, uncommented line specifies that INFO-level logging is used. If another logging level
is required, edit the file to replace INFO with any of the following: DEBUG, WARN, ERROR, or
FATAL.
NOTE: The logSetup file is set to read-only during Sender installation, so you’ll need to uncheck the
Read-only property to edit the file.
NOTE: In order to log Remote Clipboard activities on the Sender, DEBUG-level logging (not the
default INFO-level logging) must be specified in the logSetup file.
