== Logging mechanisms ==
Different technologies are used for logging differnt communication situations. These are differented in the following topics.

=== Seonapi logging ===
The communication between the web interface (and the native administrative application) and the PHP backend is logged in the Seonapi logfile. The following parameters are configurable:
*[[Seon_Core_configuration#Absolute_path_to_logfile_of_Seon_API|absolute position of the logfile]] ("Configuration" -> "Logging" -> "Absolute path to logfile of Seon API")
*[[Seon_Core_configuration#Seon_API_loglevel|Seonapi loglevel]] ("Configuration" -> "Logging" -> "Seon API loglevel")
The default position of the logfile is:
/opt/seon/tmp/seonapi.log
The logfile writer creates up to 6 files with a maximum filesize of 10MB, the actually used logfile is the configured one. Older logfiles have number suffixes like:
seonapi.log.1
seonapi.log.2
seonapi.log.3
seonapi.log.4

		+	=== Daemon logging ===
		+	When external communication is being involved for logging, the Seon debug daemon collects all information of all running programs and saves them into a ring buffer. This means, that older log entries are eliminated by newer log entries, the more activity is being logged, the less is the timeframe for the actual memory content. In order to analyze special situations, it may be interesting to collect all information.
