General Info
Using Nlog.config user can configure respective output logs. Mainly used for changing of log level to trace. For more info see Configuring logging using Nlog.config.
Table below shows default values.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Please take note, that Desktop Interface log is created per user and located in the user profile directory for each user.
Log Retention (useful information for GDPR)
Logs mentioned in previous section use NLog configuration, based on these settings the log creation/retention is handled as follows:
- Log is archived (moved to separate file with timestamp and usually a sequence number) when either [1] the "archiveAboveSize" has been reached or [2] a new day has arrived
- Each log file keeps N archived versions, where N is the number set in "maxArchiveFiles"
- After the limit set in "maxArchiveFiles" is reached and new log file should be archived, the oldest one gets deleted
If you put all this information together: If the component is continuously running (or executed at least once a day), then the logged data will get deleted after "maxArchiveFiles" days at the latest.
