Logs are an essential part of troubleshooting issues in LinkFixer Advanced. They provide detailed information about application activity and errors, which helps support teams diagnose and resolve problems more efficiently.

Log settings can be configured by navigating to:
Main Menu (☰) → Settings → Logs tab

Below are the available log levels and logging management options.

Log Levels

The Log Level drop-down menu controls the amount of information recorded in the log files.

Off

Selecting Off disables all logging.

Note: This option is not recommended. If logging is disabled, there will be no log data available for troubleshooting if a technical issue occurs.

Basic

Selecting Basic minimizes the amount of information recorded in the log file. This helps keep log file sizes small during normal operation.

Basic is the default setting and is recommended for everyday use.

Detailed

Selecting Detailed enables debug-level logging, which records significantly more information about application activity.

This option:

Produces larger log files
Provides detailed diagnostic information
Helps identify issues with specific files or links

Support may request this setting when investigating a problem.

Log File Management Options

Rollover Interval

This setting controls how long log files are retained.

Enter the number of days to keep log files. Files older than the specified number of days will be automatically deleted.

Purge Log Files When Total Size Exceeds

Enable this option to automatically delete older log files when the total size of all log files exceeds a specified limit.

The limit is specified in gigabytes (GB).
