The default configuration for the logging engine persists log data according to the rules described below.

All log entries will be written to a text file named Application Server Main Log <YYYY-MM_DD hh:mm:ss>.txt in the log directory. The file will contain the timestamp, the log level and the message of the log entries. The date encoded in the file name is the date of the first entry in the log file.

All log data with a Log level of Error or Fatal will be written to the Application Server Error Log <YYYY-MM_DD hh:mm:ss>.txt file in the log files directory. The file will contain the timestamp, the log level and the message of the log entries and if the log entry contains an exception also the textual representation of that exception. The date encoded in the file name is the date of the first entry in the log file.

All log data with a severity of Fatal will be written to the Windows Event Log. The event log entry will contain the timestamp, the log level and the message of the log entries and if the log entry contains an exception also the textual representation of that exception.
