Logging

The log files are placed under %appdata%/LogExpert/Logs (For Systems Win7 or newer %appdata% is c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming).

To change the LogLevel edit the LogExpert.exe.config and change minlevel to one of these Trace|Debug|Info|Warn|Error|Fatal Example:

    <rules>
      <logger name="Program" minlevel="Debug" writeTo="logfile" />
      <logger name="*" minlevel="Debug" writeTo="logfile" />
    </rules>

Event Log

Then under ´Windows Logs -> Application´ should be two entries (With Source ´Application Error´ and ´.NET Runtime´) these contains the infos about the crash.

Error during load of Plugins

On some deployments there is a possibility that the files are "Blocked" by windows because there are from the internet. If there is a Error message like below in the log file. Or there is no Columnizer / Plugin displayed.

This procedure has to be executed on all dll.
