ZipOut Log
The
ZipOut Log records program errors as well as attachment security (when
blocked attachments are deleted from an Outlook item), folder compression and indexing activity.
ZipOut creates log entries in the Application Log of the Windows Event
Viewer in addition to the standard zipout.log. The zipout.log file
is located in the ZipTemp subfolder of the Temp folder on your local drive.
When you submit a Technical Support request, ZipOut adds zipout.log as
an attachment to the support request message if zipout.log exists. You
can open zipout.log with any text editor including the Windows Notepad.
Registry Settings that control Log Size and Level
ErrorLogSize
The maximum size of zipout.log depends upon the ErrorLogSize DWORD
value under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\MicroEyeZipOut.Connect
key in the Windows registry. The default value of ErrorLogSize is 100000
(decimal) bytes. Once zipout.log reaches the value specified in ErrorLogSize,
the earliest existing entry will be deleted to make room for the most recent
entry.
ErrorLogSize does not control the size of the Application Log in the
Event Viewer. You can free the Application log and start recording new events
by overwriting events. To overwrite events, start the Event Viewer in
the Administrative Tools section of the Windows Control Panel, select the Application
Log in the Event log tree view, select the Action menu,
click Properties, and then click Overwrite events as needed. This
action ensures that all new events are written to the log, even when the log is
full.
ErrorLogLevel
The level of log reporting in your event log depends
upon the ErrorLogLevel DWORD value under the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\MicroEyeZipOut.Connect
key in the Windows registry.
Logging levels are as follows:
|
Error Log Level |
Value (Decimal) |
| Error |
1 |
| Warning |
2 |
| Information (Default) |
4 |
| Verbose |
8 |
| Complete |
12 |
