Logging Settings
-
This area lets you specify how logs should be collected by the communication client (CC) and security client (CCS).
- For example, you can choose max. log size, log format and location, and extended log options.
Configure 'Logging' settings
- Click 'Configuration Templates' > 'Profiles'
- Open the Windows profile that you want to configure
- Click 'Add Profile Section' > 'Logging Settings'
The settings screen contains two tabs:
- Communication Client (CC) - Configure CC log collection settings
- Comodo Client - Security (CCS) - Configure CCS log collection settings
Communication Client
Form Element |
Description |
---|---|
Write to Local Log Database (COMODO Format) |
The log is saved in
native Comodo format on the local endpoint.

Write to Syslog Server |
CC logs are written to a remote syslog server. If enabled, specify the hostname/IP address and port of the server. |
Host * |
The host name or IP address of the syslog server. |
Port * |
The port number on the syslog server to which CC should forward the logs. |
Log file size (MB) |
Specify the maximum limit for the size of the log file (Default = 100 MB). |
Action when file log size reaches limit: |
Specify behavior when the log file reaches a certain size. |
Keep on updating it removing the oldest records |
When the max. log size is reached, CC will remove the oldest entries to make way for new entries. |
Move it to |
CC will save the log file to a specific folder when it reaches the maximum size. CC will then start a new log file. |
The path to the folder for old log files * |
If 'Move it to' is enabled, type a destination path for the log file. |
Crash dump collection |
Endpoint Manager creates a dump file if the communication client crashes
on an endpoint. The file contains details about the crash which can
help our technicians diagnose and fix the issue. This file is
automatically forwarded to Comodo servers. If enabled, you can choose
the log type:
No confidential or user data is included in either ‘Full’ or ‘Mini’ logs. |
