Overview

An essential resource for troubleshooting Kerio issues is the Debug log, which outputs verbose details of specific activities. This is helpful when administrators want to perform an analysis of some activity that may not be working correctly.

For example, the name resolution takes longer than usual. In this case, DNS messages can be enabled to review the queries and their responses.

This article provides information on how to access, set, and analyze the Debug logs.

Solution

Accessing the Debug Window

The Debug log window can be accessed from the Logs tab in the administration interface using the following path:

Logs > Debug

Analyzing the Debug Logs

• You can search for a string of text or enable highlighting to identify the occurrences of a string.
• You can also save the log output to your local computer for additional analysis.
• The Debug log events are in a human-readable format to simplify the troubleshooting process. However, a raw analysis of the routed packets may be required.
  • Right-click on the Debug log window to enable Packet Logging.
