For SharePoint Logging, ULS files plays an important role for monitoring and logging all the activites happens in SharePoint Portal. Whenever an unexcepted error, people should suggest you to check the ULS Logs for the actual cause.
In this blog, I have given the steps how to enable ULS logging in a SharePoint Environment.
- Open Central Admin and Click on Monitoring
- Click on "Configure Diagnostic Logging"
- Select “All Categories“Select Verbose and make sure you keep a note of the log location.
- By default it is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
- Restart the "SharePoint Tracing services"
The Sharepoint Logs generated is of 30 minutes interval time.
Happy SharePointing :-)
