Logging

Data Wizard records diagnostic information in a daily log file. The default logging mode records Warning, Error, and Fatal entries.

Log files are stored at:

Each file is named datawizard-YYYYMMDD.log. Data Wizard retains the 14 most recent log files and deletes older files automatically.
