Configure Error Logging

When running a cache, error messages can be helpful. These messages can be saved in a log file if required.

Enabling error logging generates FATAL and NORMAL, INFO and DEBUG logs. By default, logging is enabled. In case of an error, it is reported in the application's Event Log in system.

You can manually edit config.ncconf and client.ncconf located at %NCHOME%/config. %NCHOME% is NCache install directory. These files can be edited through any text editor of your choice.

Important

In case you want to update any cache settings please refer to the Update Cache Config section to follow the set of steps.
