# Logging

Each time Keyfax is launched, an optional entry can be added to the KeyNamics log. Each log entry contains the Startup and Export data, sent to, and received from, Keyfax, together with any error messages. Logging can be switced off as required - see KeyNamics [Settings](/product-suite/keynamics/configuration/settings.md)

### Fields

A description of each logging field follows...

#### **Exception**

This area will show any errors or exceptions that may occur. In the event of any errors that cannot be resolved, please follow your normal support channels.

Note that errors may also appear in the 'Startup XML Response' or 'Export Result XML Response' fields below.
