Example 8: Logging

Logging lets you monitor and helps you troubleshoot package execution by tracing task and container events. Logging can be enabled at the task, container, or package level.

  1. Copy Example7.dtsx following the instructions at the beginning of Example 2: Aggregation, and rename it Example8.dtsx. Open the Example8 package and select the Control Flow designer.

  2. Select SSIS → Logging... from the main menu to open the Configure SSIS Logs dialog shown in the following figure.
