Controlling InDesign Server Job logging in Studio Server – Home

Info: This feature requires Studio Server 10.11.0 or higher. In previous versions, logging is enabled by default and cannot be disabled.

For debugging purposes, InDesign Server scripts can perform logging to a particular device when an InDesign Server Job is run.

The following table shows the supported devices and their configuration values:

Device	Value	Remarks
Console	console	Logging is done to the console or terminal when InDesign Server is started from the command line.
Job queue	jobqueue	Logging is done to the InDesign Server Job record. Once the job is processed, view the log by opening the InDesign Server Jobs page and clicking the 'Show log' icon.
Studio for InDesign Server	sclog	Logging is done to the log file of Studio for InDesign Server. This file can be viewed from the InDesign Server Jobs Maintenance page. Note: The location of the log file and the information that is logged is controlled via the 'LogFile' and 'Logging' options in the WWSettings.xml file as described in Logging the activity of Studio for InDesign and InCopy.
InDesign Server Workspace folder	workspace	Lets the script create a log file in the workspace folder of InDesign Server.

The logging is controlled through the following option:

Logging disabled:

define( 'INDESIGNSERV_LOGTODEVICES', [] );

Log to console only:

define( 'INDESIGNSERV_LOGTODEVICES', [ 'console' ] );

Log to the job and to Studio for InDesign Server:

define( 'INDESIGNSERV_LOGTODEVICES', [ 'jobqueue', 'sclog' ] );
