Viewer Log File

Post by Graeme Evans »

A Viewer log file would be pretty handy to look back on when billing clients for remote support you have provided (especially if they initiate via Single Click).

So it would be great if the Viewer had an option to write key session info to a log file:
(Session count/ID?), Date, Server IP Address, start and end times, calculated duration, total traffic each way, and anything else that might be useful (e.g. number and total size of file transfers each way, their computer name, and their Windows login).

It should be in a standard CSV or TSV (tab delimited) format (with the first line giving field names). TSV is probably easier for people to read using something as basic as NotePad, but CSV might be slightly easier to suck into Excel.

Config options:
Enabled / Disabled
Log file location (full path and file name)
Max size (oldest lines being removed if it grows beyond that)
In a later release (if sufficient demand): Specify which fields to include - however, the extra payload to the Viewer executable's file size may not be justified.
