MultiCharts Logs
MultiCharts log files can be used by MultiCharts Technical Support team to explain an unexpected behavior of the software or its functions when situation is not clear and it requires further deep analysis. Logs together with screenshots, videos, workspaces, exported scripts and exported symbols can be also reviewed for investigation of the reported issues.
How Log Files Are Generated
By default when MultiCharts is installed, the standard level of logging is enabled. It is enough for investigation of most issues and it doesn't slow down operation system much. From the moment of running the installer of MultiCharts software logs are written down to the particular location. Logs are generated when MultiCharts is launched, the software works and logs stay saved even after all MultiCharts products are closed. The files will stay available no matter how much time passed, but once MultiCharts is launched again the log files from previous session are erased and new files are written down to the same location.
