Log File Generation with the .Net API

[sbeadle1]

📖 Home  Back  

The .Net API, introduced in ClearSCADA 2009 R1, is a programming interface that can be used to connect to the ClearSCADA server allowing client applications to perform monitoring, control or configuration of the ClearSCADA database. The .Net API is provided as an alternative to the COM based Automation Interface.

The documented and supported .Net API is handled through ClearScada.Client.dll.

Interface Logging

For the COM based Automation Interfaces, DBClient records a set of low level communications logs describing the interface activity between the data access components on the client and the server. This functionality is implemented by default within the DBClient.dll and is enabled or disabled via registry settings (see DBClient Logs).

In the .Net interface you are recommended to use nlog (the same version shipped with Geo SCADA). Some communications logging will then be logged to the file you specify in your nlog settings. The implementation of this requires the calling client application to actively initialize the logging to specify an output path. No default registry settings are available for enabling and disabling of these logging classes. Go: Home Back
