Log files

All XR Runtime executables produce logs that can be helpful for reviewing engine activities, troubleshooting problems, or used by application developers to debug scripts.

Even though the same logging system and functionalities are available on all supported target platforms, the method of consuming them changes between Windows applications and portable applications.

Viewing the Log file on Windows applications

The Windows XR engine embeds a live Log Panel that can be activated in all XR engine-based executables under specific configuration and license settings.

A physical log file is created and stored locally to the project folder for all the runtime executables. For XR Studio, it is stored under the user AppData folder. The log file is refreshed at every application execution.

Security note Each line written in the log file is signed with a hash code to enable AVEVA to verify file tampering attempts.

Viewing the Log file on portable applications

For the XR Portable Engine, the log can be read live through the XR Remote Debugger.

This is possible only if the running project contains an instance of RestServer with remoteDebug option set to true.
