Global options include log file options and real-time options:

Note:
Although it can be useful to continue logging for a day or more to help troubleshoot an intermittent problem, we recommend that you not run real-time monitoring for more than an hour at a time.

We also recommend that you not use Logger Tool for ongoing monitoring. Turning on logging for an extended time for servers in a production environment can affect server performance.

For details about monitoring and troubleshooting, see the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 documentation at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=132106 .

To specify global options

  1. Open Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Logging Tool, New Debug Session.

  2. Under Global Options, do the following:

    • Under Log File, in Type, click the type of log file you want to use.

    • To enable real-time monitoring, select the Real Time Monitoringcheck box and, if appropriate, the Display only, no log filecheck box.

    • To configure filters for real-time monitoring, under Filter Options, select the Enable Filterscheck box, and then specify URI and FQDN addresses to and from which you want to enable filters.
