The
generated
log
files
can
be
large
and
over
100MB
depending
on
how
long
the
application
runs
with
Log
Monitor
and
how
busy
an
application
is.
The
only
reason
to
run
Log
Monitor
for
an
application
is
to
capture
trace
files.
Trace
files
are
critical
for
troubleshooting
problems
by
analyzing
and
correlating
multiple
entries
within
the
trace
file.
Troubleshoot Activity with Log Monitor
You
can
use
Log
Monitor
to
perform
basic
troubleshooting.

down
the
captured
application

On
the
computer
where
you
captured
the
application,
select
Start
>
Programs
>
VMware
>
ThinApp
Log

.
To
start
Log

on
a
deployment
machine,

the
log_monitor.exe
,

Capture.exe
files
from
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware ThinApp
to
the
deployment
machine
and
double
‐
click
the
log_monitor.exe
file.
3
Start
the
captured
application.
As
the
application
starts,
a
new
entry
appears
in
the
Log
Monitor
list.
Log
Monitor
shows
one
entry
for
each
new
trace
file.
Each
file
does
not
necessarily
correspond
with
a
single
process.
4
End
the
application
as
soon
as
it
encounters
an
error.
5
Generate
logs
for
each
trace
file
you
want
to
investigate.
a
Select
the
.trace
file
in
the
list.
b
Click
Generate
text
trace
report
.
Child
processes
that
the
parent
process
generates
reside
in
the
same
log.
Multiple
independent
processes
do
not
reside
in
the
same
log.
ThinApp
generates
a
.trace
file.
Log
Monitor
converts
the
binary
.trace
file
into
a
.txt
file.
6
(Optional)
Open
the
.txt
file
with
a
text
editor
and
scan
the
information.
In
some
circumstances,
the
.txt
file
is
too
large
to
open
with
the
text
editor.
7
Zip
the
.
txt
files
and
send
the
files
to
VMware
support.
Perform Advanced Log Monitor Operations
Advanced
operations
in
Log
Monitor
include
stopping
applications
or
deleting
trace
files.
If
an
application
is
busy
or
experiencing
slow
performance
with
a
specific
action,
you
can
perform
suspend
and
resume
operations
to
capture
logs
for
a
specific
duration.
The
resulting
log
file
is
smaller
than
the
typical
log
file
and
easier
to
analyze.
Even
when
you
use
the
suspend
and
resume
operations,
the
cause
of
an
error
might
occur
outside
of
your
duration
window.
Suspend
and
resume
operations
are
global
and
affect
all
applications.
For
more
information
about
using
these
options,
contact
VMware
support.
