Logs
The installation process generates a set of log files for the Timeline, Recording Service, and Recorder installations. You can use these files to verify that you installed applications successfully, or to troubleshoot your installation. You can also package these files so that they can be sent to ABBYY Technical Support for problem diagnosis. See below for the information on the location of the log files and how to collect them.
Timeline
To find logs go to the computer where Timeline is installed. You will find the log files in the following directories, depending on the OS involved:
- Windows
%temp%\ABBYY_Timeline_YYYYММDD<file number>.log - Linux
/opt/timeline/logs
Recording Service and Recorder
To find logs go to the computer where Recording Service or Recorder are installed. Use the Trace Collector application to gather the most recent log files automatically. To do it, follow the steps below:
- Open the application, depending on the module you want the logs to be collected for:
- Recording Service
Launch Trace Collector from the application folder. By default - C:\inetpub\ABBYY Recording Service\Abbyy.RecordingService.TraceCollector.exe - Recorder
Start Trace Collector from tray
OR
Launch it from the application folder. By default - C:\Program Files\ABBYY Recorder\Abbyy.Recorder.TraceCollector.exe - Click the About button.
- Select Diagnostic Report in the appeared dialog.
- In the opened application window, you will see the latest logs selected by default. No additional actions are needed.
- Click the Save as button, then select the path for the resulting archive.
- Send the archive to our support team with your request.
If for some reason you need to access the log directories manually, by default they are located in the following folders (Windows only):
- Recorder
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\ABBYY\Recorder\Logs - Recording Service
C:\inetpub\ABBYY Recording Service\logs
