SDL Tridion 2011 Logs *

SDL Tridion 2011 Logs
Making one's way up and about SDL Tridion 2011, can be challenging at times.  After all, it is a complex and intricate array of systems, interfaces and services backed by a wide range of technologies.  At times it certainly feels like one must not fall short of being part wizard part genius to master all its parts from end to end.

As such however, one can discover a wealth of information if one knows where to look depending on context.
Here is a trail for most commonly used logs in case you're looking to shine a spotlight on a particular process.
Most logs can be turned on or off, rolled into multiple files and set with various levels (from debug to error) for more in-depth tracing of execution and events.
