Category

Available since
At least 11.0.1 (HCL documentation)
GUI equivalent
According to HCL docs, no GUI equivalent.
Possible values
0 = do not log · 1 = log
Default
None — without an entry, no logging takes place.

Description

According to HCL product documentation:
Specifies whether messages generated when views are rebuilt are recorded in the log file.
Options for value are:
0 - Do not log messages when views are rebuilt
1 - Log messages when views are rebuilt
Removing this setting from the NOTES.INI file also disables logging of these messages.
View rebuilds are expensive (CPU, IO). To find out how often or why they occur, you switch this logging on temporarily. Usually unnecessary in continuous operation, because the log grows significantly.

Example configuration

Log_View_Events=1
With Log_View_Events=1, the server writes every view rebuild to the log file.

Notes & pitfalls

  • According to HCL: removing the entry also disables the logging — this is not a common style and should explicitly be set to 0.
  • Enable for diagnostic purposes, then turn off again to avoid bloating the log file.
  • According to HCL, there is no GUI equivalent.
