22.6 Debug Log
Debug (debug information) is a special log which can be used to monitor certain kinds of
information, especially for problem-solving. Too much information could be confusing and
impractical if displayed all at the same time. Usually, you only need to display information
relating to a particular service or function. In addition, displaying too much information slows
WinRoute’s performance. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to monitor an essential part
of information and during the shortest possible period only.
Selection of information monitored by the Debug log
The window’s context menu for the Debug log includes (see chapter
) further options for
advanced settings of the log and for an on-click one-time view of status information.
Note: These options are available only to users with full administration rights for WinRoute
(see chapter
IP Traffic
This function enables monitoring of packets according to the user defined log expression.
