Enable IO Logging

Associated with: Channels on advanced drivers

Security permission required to access this pick action: Diagnostics

Use this pick action to enable I/O logging on a channel. When enabled, Geo SCADA Expert logs the communications that occur on the channel, including any data that is discarded by the driver (see Enable or Disable Communications Logging on a Channel in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Server Administration).

NOTICE

POTENTIAL security BREACH

If Comms Logging or IO Logging is enabled on a channel on which TLS is in use, the resulting Comms or IO log files will include the unencrypted data. Ensure that you take the necessary precautions to protect the data in the files from unintentional information disclosure.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in unintentional information disclosure.

IO Logging on a channel (not to be confused with the I/O logging option on a driver) is not enabled by default. Before enabling such logging, ensure that enough disk space is available to store the log files that will be produced.

The Logging system color indicates that Communications, I/O logging, or Telnet monitoring are enabled on a channel. The IO Logging status attribute indicates the channel’s current I/O Logging status.

For more information, see Communications Logging in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Server Administration.
