What are Log Files?

Log files are text files created by OpenField that can provide information to Support about the operation of OpenField. There are 3 logs files created by OpenField; Logs, Broadcaster Logs and Retriever Logs. Logs provide information about the general operation of Console including syncing and opening/closing while broadcaster and retriever logs provide information about receiver connection and data transfer respectfully. 

How are Logs Applicable? 

Log files help Catapult Support identify and resolve issues with the OpenField Console that can prevent users from using the OpenField Console to it's full potential.
