6 MyID Notifications Service

You can configure logging for the MyID Notifications Service using the Log.config file in the Notifications folder.

To set up logging:

1. In a text editor, open the Log.config file for the notifications component.

   By default, this file is in the following location:

   C:\Program Files\Intercede\MyID\Components\MyID.Notifications.Net

2. Set the value of the file node to the output location; for example:

   <file value="C:\logs\NotificationsService.log" />

3. Set the value of the level node to the level of detail that you want to be logged. In order of least to most information saved to the log file, the options for this value are:

   OFF

   FATAL

   ERROR

   WARN

   INFO

   DEBUG

   ALL

   For example:

   <level value="ERROR" />

4. Save the file.

Note: You must ensure that the MyID web service user has the necessary permissions to create and write to the log file. You can create a file then give the user write permissions if you prefer not to give the user create permissions.

Important: The log files may contain personal data. Make sure you delete these logs as soon as possible.
