Log files in the results folder

Many log files, which are shown in the following table, are generated for different parts of the Analysis pipeline. Some files only appear when a problem occurs. You do not need to log in to see these files. Opening a report and removing the report name gives you a directory listing of all the files, which you can open directly as text files. Be careful that you do not open a large file using the web browser.

Filename

Description

version.txt

Lists the versions of the Ion software packages that were installed at the time the report was generated and the host name of the server. This information is also displayed on the default report.

DefaultTFs.conf

Lists all of the Test Fragment Templates that were used for generating this report. If the file size is zero and there are no data in the file, either no templates are installed or none are flagged isofficial. Analysis only checks against the templates that are marked isofficial, which is set using the Templates tab in the browser.
