CDA Logging Files

Log files help you track the events that happen when CDA is running.

Location

Log files are saved by default in the logs subfolder of the WebUI folder (e.g. c:\Automic\Release.Manager\WebUI\logs\)

File Generation

Every day at midnight new files will be created with default names and a date suffix will be appended to the existing log files. For example, log.txt will be renamed to log.txt.2020.03.04.
