For the Scout Keep Alive service, log file rotation is active, which writes information about the service start and errors by default. The log level and other log options may be customized via an .ini file.

After installation, the log files and the scoutkeepalive.ini are located under %PUBLIC%DocumentsUniConScoutScoutKeepAlive

The following settings are available in scoutkeepalive.ini in the Logger section:

Option	Default	Value range	Description
MaxLogFiles	10	1..n	Number of log files for log rotation
MaxLogFileSizeMB	100	100..n	File size in MB
Level	1	1..15	Log level
			1 Service start and errors
			2 Information beyond errors
			4 Program flow
			8 Program flow including further details
			To receive error messages, information beyond errors and information on the program flow, we recommend protocol level 7 (bit mask of 1+2+4).
