Log files collect information about SQL Change Automation while you use it. These files are useful if you're working with Redgate support to fix a problem.

Changing the log level

1. Close Visual Studio.
2. Find the logging.config in SQL Change Automation extension folder (search Visual Studio folder to find it). There may be two such files - the one to edit is under the Extensions folder.

3. Open logging.config in a text editor.

4. Inside the <root> tag, edit:

   1. <level value="DEBUG" />

   You can specify:

   Log level	Effect
   None	Disables all logging.
   Debug	Logs additional debug information
   Info	Logs information collected when getting changes in the Get latest tab.
   Warn	Logs information collected when minor errors occur.
   Error	Logs information collected when mid-level errors occur.
