A.4 The Trace File

The default trace file exists on the connected Linux and UNIX system at /usr/local/ASAM/debug.log. A large amount of debug information can be written to this file. Use the trace level setting in /usr/local/ASAM/data/fanout.conf to control what is written to the file. For details about /usr/local/ASAM/data/fanout.conf, see The Driver Shim Configuration File.
