Log File Directories

Event log files enable you to analyze problems which may occur when using servers and services.

What Is Logged?

A log file contains an automatically-generated log of actions carried out by processes running on a computer system. Innovator logs all of its servers and services.

These logs proved essential information which is particularly helpful for the Innovator support team.

Environment variables (INOHOST, INOLIC) or derivations of these (e.g. bus, hub and agent ports) are used for unique storage for log files.

Placeholders Used for Directories

The following placeholders are used for the directories and file names listed below.

<INOHOST>: INOHOST set

<INOLIC>: license file directory

<VERS>: current version number

<LICPORT>: INOHOST port

<BUSPORT>: INOHOST port+1 (fix)

<HUBPORT>: INOHOST port+2 (fix)

<AGENTPORT>: INOHOST port+3 (can be set)

<INONOTIFYPORT>: INOHOST port+4 (fix)

Log files directories and file names

License Server

Log path: <INOLIC>\logs\inolsrv.<LICPORT>

Log file: inolsrv.log

Bus

Log path: <INOLIC>\logs\inobus.<BUSPORT>

Log files:

  • bus.log
  • bus.pid

Hub

Log path: <INOLIC>\logs\inohub.<HUBPORT>

Log files:

  • hub.log
  • hub.pid

Agent

Log path: <INOPRJ>\ivm\logs\inoagent.<computer name>.<AGENTPORT>

Log files:

  • agent.sqlite
  • agent.log

  • stderr.txt

Notification Service (InnoNotify)

Log path:

  1. With INONOTIFY variable:
    <INONOTIFY>\<host name>.<INONOTIFYPORT>\logs oder

  2. Without INONOTIFY environment variable:
    <INOPRJ>\inonotify\<host name>.<INONOTIFYPORT>\logs

Log files:

  • log-YYYYMMDD.txt

Model Server

Log path: <INOPRJ>\<repository name>

Log files: srv.log

Services

Services log files for error messages when starting a service:

C:\Windows\logs\innovator\<VERS>\<service name>.log

Restriction

If INOPRJ is changed once an agent service has been installed on the system environment, then the agent service needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled. This is because INOPRJ is set for the agent upon service installation (inoagent does not read the registration).

If INOLIC (or INODIR if INOLIC is not set) is changed once a bus service has been installed on the system environment, then the bus service needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled. This is because the log directory is set for the bus upon service installation (inobus does not read the registration).
