Qlik Replicate: How to store trace and verbose logging in memory (also known as conditional logging)

[avidary_qlik]

Qlik Replicate offers a powerful logging feature when its level is set to "Trace" or "Verbose". Instead of directly writing to log files, detailed information is first stored in memory. This is particularly useful for troubleshooting unpredictable errors.

In case of a problem, Qlik Replicate captures the complete picture by writing the in-memory log to disk, including events leading up to and following the error. This strategy proves effective when dealing with issues that lack obvious causes, allowing for deeper analysis and faster resolution.
