Log Files

Support engineers might require log files for troubleshooting. Send these log files to support@navvis.com for analysis when reporting an issue.

Types of Log Files

There are two types of log files:

• Dataset-specific log files

• Global (dataset-independent) log files

Dataset-Specific Log Files

These contain all the information messages from the scan, processing, and image stitching. The log files are stored under logs in every dataset, e.g. /path/to/project/datasets_rec/2015-04-28_15.55.23/logs/.

For most support tasks, the relevant log files are:

Global Log Files

Global log files are independent of any dataset. These logs contain all the application status messages while the device is turned on.
