Managing Browsium Client Logging Settings

In a default installation, Browsium Client logs Warning level information which will provide basic information about the Catalyst configuration and any important errors that may occur on client systems, including errors from Proton and Catalyst if configured on the client.

Browsium Client can be configured to record more detailed logging information to troubleshoot problems or validate Catalyst configuration settings on the local system. Browsium Client logging is written to the standard Windows event log under an application-level source named Browsium. The Logging Level setting determines the amount and type of data collected in the Windows event log. This table summarizes the various levels and data collected:


Value Level Description


1 Error Writes Error entries

2 Warning Writes Warn and Error entries (Default)

4 Info Writes Info, Warn and Error entries

Section titled “4 Info Writes Info, Warn and Error entries”

To adjust the level of logging, a registry value must be configured on the target system. Once the logging value is created, the Browsium Controller must be restarted to recognize the specified logging value.

Browsium Controller looks in the Windows registry for the presence of the logging setting at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Browsium\Client. The value is a REG_DWORD type, with value name “LogLevel”. The data in that value can be 1, 2 or 4 (see chart above).

If no LogLevel registry value is present in the defined registry location (the default Browsium Client state), or any invalid values are found at that location, Browsium Client will revert to using the default Level 2 — Warning.
