Subsystem logs

Subsystem logs document the operation of various CIC subsystems. This type of logging is more verbose than NT Event Logs.

A subsystem log is a binary file that stores information about an event of some sort, to record a normal operation or an abnormal condition that affected a subsystem. Subsystem logs are called trace logs, since they trace the activities performed by a system.

Most CIC subsystems have a dedicated log that stores information about error conditions, warnings, and other data that helps track the processing behavior of the subsystem. A software subsystem typically logs messages when it passes control to a routine, encounters a problem, or otherwise needs to record work performed. The degree of detail written to logs is configurable for each CIC subsystem.
