How do I save a copy of M-Files errors in the Windows Application event log
Note: These instructions are for Windows 10, but the
procedure is highly similar for other Windows versions.
If every M-Files user in your organization is experiencing the same
issue, it is recommended to save a copy of the application event log on the M-Files server computer. If the issue is an isolated one, on the
other hand, you should only save a copy of the log on the computer where the issue
occurs. Complete the steps below on the appropriate computer. -
Right-click the Start icon and select Event
Viewer from the context menu.
Result:The Event Viewer window is opened.
- Expand Windows Logs.
- Click Application.

Click Filter Current Log on the
Actions pane.

- Open the Event sources drop-down menu and select M-Files and any other applications related to M-Files, such as M-Files Compliance Kit or MFClient.
- Click OK to close the Filter Current Log dialog.
- Click Save Filtered Log File As on the Actions pane.
- Specify a location and a file name, and then click Save.
