3.11 Logging and Messages

Most error messages encountered on an endpoint are returned to the AppManager, Vivinet Assessor, or Vivinet Diagnostics console computer. However, some may be logged to disk. Errors are saved in a file named ENDPOINT.LOG, in the directory where you installed the endpoint. To view an error log, use the command-line program named FMTLOG.EXE. The program FMTLOG.EXE reads from a binary log file, and writes its formatted output to stdout. Use the following FMTLOG command:

FMTLOG log_filename > output_file

The endpoint performs extensive internal cross-checking to catch unexpected conditions early. If an assertion failure occurs, the file assert.err is written to the directory where you installed the endpoint.
