Configure API Logging

NCache Client Side API Logging is a diagnostic feature that logs all NCache API calls made by an application. This is a configurable logging mechanism that creates several log files. The purpose of API logging is to identify which API and related sequence result in a problem so that these issues can be reproduced easily at the user end.

For further details on API logging, please refer to the Client Side API Logging section. It also explains how to configure API Logging using configurations.
