Turning on the debug log

Lighthouse Keeper provides the ability to log what it is doing to a text file for problem solving purposes. It is highly recommended that you do not run this constantly as it does slow the performance of Lighthouse Keeper.

To turn on logging, open a terminal window and enter:

defaults write com.mcubedsw.lighthousekeeper LHLogToFile -integer 2

This will turn on the highest logging level. The results will then be logged to a file in your home directory called lhklog.txt. After you have finished problem solving, you can turn off logging by entering the following into a terminal window:

defaults write com.mcubedsw.lighthousekeeper LHLogToFile -integer 0
