Operating System Logging Facilities  

Use the operating system logging utilities option if you also want some of the ColdFusion log messages written to the operating system's logging facility (such as EventLog for  Windows NT and syslog for UNIX). Regardless of this setting, all ColdFusion log messages are always written to the standard ColdFusion log files.

Use Version 5.0 Logging Format

By default ColdFusion writes all log messages using the ColdFusion 5.0 log format. If you want ColdFusion to write log messages using the 4.5 log format, you need to clear this check box.

 

Note. If you disable the 5.0 log format, you will need to shut down the ColdFusion Services and Web Server, rename the existing log files, and restart the Web Server and ColdFusion Services.
