Server logging configuration for ascp and ascp4
Server transfer logs are stored in the default location, rotated once they are 10 MB, and
log at log
level. For ascp transfers, you can configure a
different default log directory, log size, number of logs, and logging intensity on the server, and
apply these settings globally or to specific users. For Ascp4 transfers, you can configure a default
log size (Ascp4 does not support user-specific logging settings). These settings do not affect IBM Aspera Sync logging, which is configured in a different
section.
If the client specifies a log directory on the server (using -R
remote_log_dir
) or the location and size of the local log directory
(using -L local_log_dir[:size]
), then these
take precedence over the server settings.
Default versus user-specific settings
You can set the default logging configuration or assign users to different logging classes, which are sets of logging configurations.
Configuration methods
Logging settings are configured by running asconfigurator commands, or by manually editing aspera.conf. To edit aspera.conf, open it with admin privileges from the following location:
C:\Program Files\Aspera\Enterprise Server\etc\aspera.conf
