Can't find ULS Log file

Question

I'm trying to find ULS logs file, so I went and configured the diagnostic logging in the

central administration > Monitoring.

I've selected all the categories,

Set minimum level of trace

Event log at verbose

Set the file directory to : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS.

But when I go into this file I can't see any log.What is the reason behind it and how I can I see my logs ?

Thanks

Answer 1

Sounds like a permission problem!

Have you had any log files on that machine?

I have seen before in installations, that the web application pool users dont get added to the Performance Log Users

Computer > Manage > Configuration > Groups > Performance Log Users

You should also check if they are members of Performance Monitor Users group as well

Try Microsoft ULS Viewer and try to get Real time ULS log and see if you can save it or where it has been saved.

Microsoft ULS Log Viewer
