Naming

The Qlik Sense log files are named in accordance to the following file rollover procedure:

1. The log is stored in a file named <MachineName>_<LogType>_<Service>.txt.
2. When the file is full or a pre-defined amount of time has passed, the file extension is automatically changed to .log and a time stamp is appended to the file name for uniqueness and archiving. This means that the new file name becomes <MachineName>_<LogType>_<Service>_<YYYYMMDDTHHmmss>Z.log. The file is then moved to the repository database on the central node by the Qlik Sense Repository Service (QRS) and archived.
3. A new log file, named <MachineName>_<LogType>_<Service>.txt, is created.

The format of the file name is as follows:

• <MachineName> = Name of the server where the log was created.
• <LogType> = The type of events that are covered by the log.
• <Service> = The service that the log originates from (for example, Proxy or Repository).
• <YYYYMMDDTHHmmss>Z = Time stamp for when the log file was closed for new entries, where:
  • YYYY: Year
  • MM: Month
  • DD: Day in month
  • T: Delimiter, time designator
  • HH: Hour
  • mm: Minutes
  • ss: Seconds
  • Z: UTC designator, indicates that the time stamp is in UTC format
