Enable verbose logging for a specific subsystem¶
The Support & Diagnostics dialog lets you turn on logging for individual subsystems. Enable only the categories you need to keep log output focused and easier to read when diagnosing a problem.
Before you start¶
- No radio connection is required to change logging categories.
- If you want a clean log that starts at the moment you reproduce a bug, clear the log first before enabling categories.
Steps¶
- Click
Help > Support...to open the Support & Diagnostics dialog. - In the Diagnostic Logging group, find the checkbox row for the subsystem you want to diagnose.
- Check the checkbox next to that category's label to enable logging for it. Uncheck it to disable.
- Reproduce the behavior you are investigating. Log output begins immediately when a category is enabled.
- Click Refresh to reload the log file and see the latest entries in the Log viewer.
What each control does¶
| Control | Kind | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Category checkboxes | Checkbox | One row per logging category. Check to enable, uncheck to disable. Changes take effect immediately. |
| Enable All | Button | Turns on every logging category at once. |
| Disable All | Button | Turns off every logging category at once. |
| Log viewer | Text area | Scrollable view of the most recent log text. Displays up to 2000 lines. |
| Refresh | Button | Reloads the log file into the Log viewer. |
| Log path label | Indicator | Shows the full path of the current log file. |
| Log file size | Indicator | Shows the current size of the active log file. |
Tips¶
- Use Enable All only when you are unsure which subsystem is involved. The log will be large. For a targeted investigation, enable only the relevant category checkbox.
- Use Disable All after you have captured what you need to stop further log growth.
- The Log viewer shows a maximum of 2000 lines. If you need the full file, click Open Log Folder to access it directly in your file browser.
