All logging functionality in Mail Express is preconfigured with the optimal settings. Typically modifying the configuration for the logging functionality should only be performed under the direction of Globalscape Customer Support.
Refer to Installation Logging.
The Mail Express Server Diagnostics Logging functionality provides diagnostic-level messages for the operation of the Mail Express Server. This diagnostic information may be used to identify errors, warnings, and other information of interest that occur during the operation of the Mail Express Server.
By default this functionality logs to the file <Installation Directory>\logs\MailExpressServer.log.
The log will be appended during each run of the Mail Express Server. The log file will archive itself automatically when it reaches 10 MB and will maintain the last 10 log files in the form MailExpressServer.log.<X> where X is a number from 1 to 10, with 1 being the most recently archived log file and 10 being the oldest.
This logging records diagnostic information generated by the Mail Express Server service. The Mail Express Server service is responsible for starting the Java Virtual Machine and launching and subsequently monitoring the Mail Express Server. The diagnostic information may be used to identify errors or warnings that occur during startup of the Mail Express Server.
By default this functionality logs to the file <Installation Directory>\logs\MailExpressServerService.log.
The log will be appended during each run of the Mail Express Server. The log file will archive itself automatically when it reaches 10 MB and will maintain the last 10 log files in the form MailExpressServerService.log.<X> where X is a number from 1 to 10, with 1 being the most recently archived log file and 10 being the oldest.
The Mail Express Server is capable of logging significant events to the Windows Event Log. Events originating from the Mail Express Server are logged to the Application Event Log and by default include the following types of events:
Mail Express Server Service start
Mail Express Server Service stop
Mail Express Server Service restart
Mail Express Server Service startup failures
All FATAL and ERROR-level diagnostic log messages logged to the Mail Express Server Diagnostics Logging
Additionally, the startup and shutdown activities originating from the Windows Service Control Manager are logged to the System Event Log. This is an automatic behavior provided by the Windows Operating System and is not generated by Mail Express Server.
