Logs all server activity to a directory.

Directory - The directory where to store log files.
File rotation - The frequency in which to rotate log files.
Logs all server activity to a JDBC accessible database. To use the Database log option you must first create the database and necessary tables on your database server and register the appropriate database driver with JSCAPE MFT Server. Example database schema for MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle are provided in the files etc/mysql-log.sql, etc/mssql-log.sql, etc/oracle-log.sql, and etc/postgresql-log.sql respectively. The etc directory is found inside the JSCAPE MFT Server installation directory. Libraries for JDBC drivers must be placed in the libs/jdbc directory of your JSCAPE MFT Server installation, the JSCAPE MFT Server Service restarted and the JDBC driver class registered in Settings > JDBC Drivers in order for the database to be accessible to JSCAPE MFT Server.
Figure 63
JDBC URL - The JDBC URL used to connect to the database. The above example demonstrates connecting to a MySQL database. Contact your database vendor for access to JDBC libraries and assistance on specifying the JDBC URL.
Username - The username to connect with when authenticating with database.
Password - The password to connect with when authenticating with database.
Pool - The maximum number of connections in database pool.
Pool timeout - The maximum amount of time in minutes that the database connection can live in the pool without activity.
Clear records older than [x] days - When ticked, JSCAPE MFT Server will clear records in the database logs when their age exceeds x number of days
Test Parameters - Tests database connection using the specified settings.

Host - The IP address of syslog daemon.
Port - The port of syslog daemon.
Facility - The syslog facility to use.
Process name - Process name tag to apply to all log messages sent to syslog daemon.
Max buffer size - Defines the maximum number of records that will be stored in the buffer

In the event that the database server cannot be contacted logging data will be directed to a temporary file located in the backup directory of your JSCAPE MFT Server installation. To move the contents of this temporary log file to your database use the js-backuplog command providing the domain that you wish to restore. The js-backuplog executable may be found in your JSCAPE MFT Server installation directory.
Example
js-backuplog -domain localhost
The above command moves the contents of the temporary log file for domain localhost to the log database assigned to this domain.
