PIPC Log Server page

Service

To apply changes made to the settings, click OK, then stop and restart the PILogSrv service.

Startup Type

The Startup Type indicates whether the PILogSrv service is setup to start automatically on reboot or manually on reboot, or is disabled.

If the Auto option is selected, the service is installed to start automatically when the machine restarts.

If the Manual option is selected, the PILogSrv service will not start on reboot, but will require someone to manually start the service.

If the Disabled option is selected, the service will not start at all.

Generally, the PILogSrv service is set to start automatically.

Settings

There are two configurable parameters used by the PILogSrv service that manage the number of files to be stored on the system and the size at which the log files are to roll over.

To change the maximum number of pipc*.log files to be kept on the local system, specify a value in the text box provided. The default is 20, and the range is 1 to 9,999.

The Use Default button populates the Maximum log files text box with the default value.

To change the size at which the pipc.log files are renamed and a new pipc.log file created, specify a value in kilobytes in the field provided. The default is 256 KB. The range is 1 KB to 4 MB
