How to collect logs related to quick optimization

Last updated on 9 December 2024

Overview

In case you have issues with 'Optimize Database (Quick)', there are specific logs that can be enabled to provide more information about the issue. Please send those logs to M-Files Support for further investigation.

Solution

You can enable logs with these server-side registry settings:

 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Motive\M-Files\<ersion>\Server\MFServer\Logging]

"Enabled"=dword:00000001

"EnableVerboseLogging"=dword:00000001

"LogDir"="%TEMP%\MFilesLogs"

"FlushIntervalInSeconds"=dword:0000000a

"LogCategories"=dword:00001000 (4096)

By default the location of log files is %TEMP%\MFilesLogs. (In test environment: C:\Windows\Temp\MFilesLogs.)

Enabled and EnableVerboseLogging are set to 0 by default, change the values 1 to enable logging. No need to restart M-Files Server services.

You can send the logs to M-Files Support via CryptShare Portal, see instructions here: /article/How-to-Send-Files-via-CryptShare-Portal
