Advanced _ Logging

In the logging settings, set the options related to log creation.

File Path
Specifies the path of the log file. The string conversion formats available at file creation are like the followings:

  • %a: Date and time according to localization of OS language.
  • %d: current 2 digit day
  • %h: current 2 digit hour
  • %{hn}: Short name of the host name stored in the session file.
  • %{HN}: The full host name stored in the session file.
  • %l: Line number within the log file.
  • %m: current 2 digit month
  • %M: current 2 digit minutes
  • %n: session name
  • %N: milliseconds
  • %s: current 2 digit seconds.
  • %t: current time (%H-%M-%s)
  • %u: The user name stored in the session file.
  • %Y: current 4 digit year

Overwrite if the file exists
If a file with the same name exists in the destination folder, specify whether or not to overwrite the file. If this option is not selected, a sequence number is appended to the file name.

Start Logging upon connection
Logging is automatically started when a session is connected to a remote host.

Prompt me to choose a file path when logging starts
A prompt will be displayed when logging starts which allows the user to specify where to save the log file rather than the default path.

Opens a save dialog when a session starts. You can re-specify the log file and path at the start of a session.

Include terminal code
If this option is selected, terminal codes will also be logged. If terminal codes are included, all contents (color, string output status, etc.) will be recorded.

Encoding

Encoding of the log file. If you want to use the file directly on Unix/Linux, choose UTF-8.

Timestamp: Log file records
Log file records will show the date  and time the log was output. Not available when Terminal Code option is selected.

Timestamp : Format
This is how the the date and time are formatted. Please refer to the description of the log file path above for the format.

Displays the formatted timestamp based on current date and time.
