ADMINISTERING

The information in the log file

Domino® logs activity in the log file (LOG.NSF).

The information is not visible in the log file, but you can access the information in the file by writing an API program. For information about writing an API program to access this information, see the Lotus C API Toolkit for Notes/Domino. The toolkit is available for download; for information about the download, see Additional documentation resources in the related topics.

Note: Activity logging records in the log file are hidden. The records you can see in the log file do not contain as much detail as activity logging records and are not updated as often as activity logging records. You can view activity logging information by running Activity Analysis.

You use the Domino Administrator to specify which types of activity to log.
