FAQs: Turning on System Logging

When troubleshooting a problem reported to SirsiDynix Customer Support, customer consultants might ask you to turn on system logging for a specific user. System logs contain a complete record of requests from the client and responses from the server, differing from history logs, which contain only transactions which change one or more database records. By default, system logging is turned off for all users except the SIRSI user. To enable system logging for a different user, follow these steps.

Since system logging can consume a great deal of disk space, it should only be selected for a brief time, and should be cleared (turned off) after the problem has been resolved.
