Thank you for your feedback
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:
File name | Description |
datasets_rec/<dataset-name>/logs/mapping.log | System software log capturing all log messages during a specific dataset from start to finish. |
datasets_rec/<dataset-name>/logs/kern.log*.gz | Kernel log of the underlying operating system. |
datasets_rec/<dataset-name>/logs/syslog*.gz | System log of the underlying operating system. |
datasets_rec/<dataset-name>/logs/*_NavVis.log.gz | System software log capturing all log messages in a day upon powering the device on. |

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.
