Where Can I Find the IGEL UMS Log Files?

The following article details where you can find and configure IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) log files.

For enabling the logging of UMS user actions and actions initiated by a device, see Logging in the IGEL UMS.

If you manage IGEL OS 12 devices, see How to Start with IGEL > Debugging How to Collect and Send Device Log Files to IGEL Support.

If you require UMS log files for IGEL Support, see Save Support Information / Send Log Files to Support.

UMS 12.01 or Higher

To change the logging settings for UMS 12.01 or higher, see the file README.md under [IGEL installation directory]/RemoteManager/rmguiserver/logs.

If you change the logging configuration, the restart of the UMS Server is not required.
