36.7  Synchronization logs

The entire synchronization process can be monitored and logged by using special tools. These tools can be found both in the Kerio MailServer's administration console and in the mobile device. This section provides description and settings instructions for these tools:

  5. Click OK to confirm settings.

Once the log is set, run the synchronization of the device and the server to make the log.

If needed, synchronization log can also be saved, as follows:

  1. Logs can be saved in a file in the Logs → Debug section.

  2. Right-click on the created log and choose Save log from the pop-up menu.

Logging synchronization on mobile devices

On Windows Mobile, the ActiveSync application includes special logs for each synchronization performed that can be helpful when solving traffic issues. Logs can be enabled/disabled in the Advanced section of the ActiveSync application.

Windows Mobile stores logs in \Windows\Activesync. Each synchronization process is saved in a stand-alone file whereas the three most recent logs are kept in the directory mentioned above. Names of the log files are:

Exchange Server0.txt

Exchange Server1.txt

Exchange Server2.txt

These logs may be helpful especially when solving issues in cooperation with the Kerio Technologies technical support.
