Logging

Log files are stored in:

Log File name Viewable from What it logs
License server log lmadmin.log Server Configuration > Logging License server, console, and administration activities
Vendor daemon log citrix.log Vendor Daemon Configuration > Vendor Daemon Log Licenses and license activities
Access log access.log \\Logs folder HTTP access events

Note: This log is used by support personnel for debugging purposes only.

Some versions of the license server (previous to 11.6.1) included a report log. The License Aministration Console does not include a report log. If you have a legacy report log file (C:\Program Files\Citrix\Licensing\LS\reportlog.rl), it will not be updated unless you relocate the file "reportlog.rl" to the \\Logs directory and update the options file to control it.

To view and configure the license server log

  1. In the Administration area, on the Server Configuration page, click the Logging bar.
  2. Click View log file.
  3. To change the level of logging, select the type of information to be recorded from the Log Level dropdown list.
    Note: Leave this property set to the default setting of Information unless you are instructed by support personnel to change it to aid in troubleshooting.
