Enabling Task Logging

MessageStats Report Pack for Exchange Online creates log entries during several processes. If you contact Quest Support for assistance, Quest Support might request that you change your logging detail level to help troubleshoot technical issues. You can use the Task Logging page to set up logging at the task level.

Enable logging for the given Task Processor

Select the box to enable logging for this gathering task. You can identify the detail level the task logs.

Log detail level

Set the level of detail that should be included in the log files.

Record errors in the Windows Application Event Log

Select this option and MessageStats Report Pack for Exchange Online also records errors in Windows Application Event logs.

You can define the logging level for your task logs. The following log levels are available, from the most detailed to the least detailed:

Trace

Trace level logging is extremely detailed logging that includes errors, warnings, and status messages, and also low-level event details.Trace logging is only used with custom components provided by Quest development for diagnostic purposes. This level of logging can generate large log file and can affect system performance.

Debug

Debug level logging includes errors, warnings, and status messages, and also low-level event details. Quest Support might ask you to set logging to the debug level to identify and resolve an issue. Use debug-level logging only at the request of Quest Support, since the log files can grow rapidly and can affect system performance. These logs contain very detailed entries.

Status

Status level logging includes warnings and errors, as well as the regular flow of major events within MessageStats Report Pack for Exchange Online. Use the Status level for a new installation to include more detailed logs.

Warning

Warning level logging includes errors that appear at the Errors level. The Warning level also includes errors that occurred but from which MessageStats Report Pack for Exchange Online recovered and continued gathering. Use this level for established and stable implementations.

Errors

Errors level logging includes errors that caused a gathering task to terminate.

It is recommended that you periodically remove obsolete logs.

Specifying Credentials for a Task

Using the Task Credential page, the Windows security credentials are displayed for the task. By default, this page displays the credentials that you defined for the Task Scheduler Service during installation.

Credentials are not verified in this wizard. The account must be a valid account and must have sufficient permissions to run the task on the task execution servers or the gathering tasks will fail. If you changed the Task Execution Server, this page automatically displays the credentials that you specified for that server.

Editing Tasks

You can edit tasks in several ways:

1
Expand the Tasks node and select the task.
3
Click Next until the Schedule page is displayed.
