UI Element List
| Element Name | Description |
|---|---|
Field ID |
The friendly name of the logging field. This value cannot be edited. |
Log header name |
Enter the unique identifier of the logging field. The identifier is included in the #Fields directive in the log file header. |
Default value |
Enter a string value that will be recorded in the log file if the logging field contains no data. This value replaces the hyphen character that is typically used to mark missing logging field data. |
Maximum size |
If the logging field records string data, enter the maximum size, in bytes, that the string can be. Strings that are larger than this value will be truncated to the maximum size. This setting lets applications that have string size limits, such as log parsers, consume the data. |
Required |
Select this check box if data must be supplied for the logging field in a log entry. Log entries with logging fields that do not contain required data are not written to log files. |
