Diagnostic logs

    Diagnostic log file

    The diagnostic log records information about Flash Media Server operations (this is in addition to the information logged by the operating system). This log is used primarily for debugging (logging uncommon events that occur in Flash Media Server processes).

    The default diagnostic logs are master.xx.log, edge.xx.log, core.xx.log, admin.xx.log, and httpcache.xx.log. All the diagnostic logs are located in the Flash Media Server logs directory. Flash Media Server is configured, by default, to create a diagnostic log for each type of process. The “xx” in the filename is a two-digit number representing the version of the log.

    For a list of messages that appear in the diagnostic log files, see Diagnostic Log Messages.
