Logging settings

Important Modifying the configuration file could lead to unexpected behavior in the application. Only when you are familiar with the process and risks involved with changing a configuration file, you should attempt to change the configuration.

JewelSuite 2026.1 Subsurface Modeling uses the Serilog logging services for the output of .NET log statements in a structured way. The primary intention of configuring the logging service would be to capture application information that is generated when the application crashes, or any other issue is preventing the application from operating as expected. In this case, information related to the issue can be found in a trace file, located by default in the C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Baker Hughes\Logs directory, and provided to the JewelSuite support team. If, however, there are other reasons for changing the logging configuration, such as diagnostics and metrics, see https://serilog.net/ regarding the various logging levels and loggers that can be configured. The logging service can also be used for reporting of the UsageStatistics.

Other components of the application can be configured outside of the UI as well, see Administrator configurations.
