A Log or log history is a text file (that can be structured or unstructured) in which the events, actions, or changes that have been generated are recorded chronologically.
In general, Logs can be used for several things. For example, to Trace, Debug, or communicate diagnostics of an application.
The various GeneXus Logs can be configured at runtime, for example by using the Log level property and then doing a build.
To be able to modify some Logging Settings at Runtime in containerized environments, without having to build and deploy the WebApp, you can use the following environment variables:
| Environment variables |
