During execution from the command line, Silk Test Workbench logs events into .LOG files in the directory %LOCALAPPDATA%\silk\silktest\logs. By default, the logging level is set to info and each execution of a command-line executable creates a new log file that contains the PID, the date, and the time in the filename. Subsequent executions of the same program delete old files and create new ones.
The following table provides a filename example for some command-line executables:
| Program | Example Filename |
|---|---|
| SilkTest.exe | SilkTest(Pid=25184)_20171030_1635.log |
| STW.exe | STW(Pid=13204)_20171031_0839.log |
| STWDBConfig.exe | STWDBConfig(Pid=32924)_20171030_1635.log |
| STWExport.exe | STWExport(Pid=32560)_20171030_1635.log |
| STWImport.exe | STWImport(Pid=26640)_20171030_1635.log |
| STWMaint.exe | STWMaint(Pid=13488)_20171030_1618.log |
| STWPurge.exe | STWPurge(Pid=30096)_20171030_1635.log |
You can set your logging preferences by modifying the file workbench.properties in the gui folder of your Silk Test Workbench installation. By default, this folder should be located under C:\Program Files (x86)\Silk\SilkTest\ng\gui. In this file, you can specify the log level, the log style, the log directory, and so on.
For example, if you require multiple log files to be created for a single program, change the setting nativeLog.clearPerProcessLogs to 0 so that the files are not deleted.
