Overview
========

The console log presents a tabular view of the log messages produced
by |AC| itself. It is normally not necessary to display this
view, but it can be used if you suspect the process is having trouble.

* **Time** - The time the log message was written.
* **Level** - The level of the message.
* **Logger Name** - The name of the class that wrote the message.
* **Message** - The message.

.. |ICON_PREFERENCES| image:: ../../../_static/administration/branding/icons/preferences.png
.. |ICON_CLEANUP| image:: ../../../_static/administration/cleanup.gif

This view's toolbar contains a button |ICON_FILE_OPEN| to open the log file,
a button |ICON_PREFERENCES| to display the log preferences, a button |ICON_CLEANUP|
to clear out the log (UI only, file(s) remain unchanged) and buttons to minimize
and maximize the view.

.. Note::
    |AC| stores its log files in **<rti_workspace>/<version>/user_config/\*.log**.
