The ThinPrint Logging tab in the TPDU console offers the opportunity (for major components) to write events into a log file.
The page is divided into two sections:
- Services
- Logging
Administrator permissions
If you have started the TPDU without administrator rights, then you have the opportunity to add them here.
- Click on Run with Elevated Privileges, to proceed with admin rights (arrow). This button is only visible if the TPDU is running without admin rights.
Windows services
If logging is turned on for a component (see below), and then Apply, rather than Apply and Restart Services is selected, then this message will be displayed: “One or more services require a restart before the changes can take effect”.
Note! After selecting logging for a specific component a restart of the relevant service is required for activating the logging.
To restart manually, you can select the respective services individually, and then manually restart them with the Restart Selected Service button.
| Menu / Table column | Description |
| Service | name of the Windows service |
| Status | status of the service |
| Path to Executable | path to .exe file that represents this service |
| Restart Selected Service | restart the highlighted service |
| File→ Re-scan or F5 | information is rescanned |
Log management
To simplify handling, and to gain a better overview, various related components have been combined to form groups (see screeshot below), e. g.:
- Thinmon.dll, TPWPMon.log, TPVMMon.log and TPFMSMon.log to the ThinPrint Port Monitors group
- TPClnt.dll, Thn32Svc.exe and TPView.dll to the ThinPrint Client group
Note! After selecting logging for a specific component a restart of the relevant service is required for activating the logging.
Furthermore, all users must have the permissions for reading, writing and modifying the log files in the given path (see Browse).
