Logfiles can get very large quite fast. This is why they are stored in a separate partition. It is mounted at /debuglog.

Enabling and Configuring the Debuglog Partition

The partition is enabled and configured in the Registry:



IGEL Setup > System > Registry


> Enable debuglog partition

debug.tools.log_partition.enabled

enabled / disabled


Enables the debuglog partition.



IGEL Setup > System > Registry


> Size of debuglog partition in MiB

debug.tools.log_partition_size

50 ... 500 / 100


 
Resizing the debuglog partition will delete its contents!

Depending on which logging options you enable (see the following topics), you may find the following files in the debuglog partition:
