Logfiles

When recording a session, SonarLink will create a logfile with the extension .svlog . Long recording sessions will be automatically split across multiple .svlog files to limit the size of a file.

As of 1.14.20-beta, logfiles will be stored on disk with the extension .svlz instead. These files have the same content as a .svlog file but are compressed with gzip to use less space on disk. SonarView can open these files directly and can convert a compressed file as uncompressed or vice-versa (see Exporting Logfiles).

You can turn svlog compression on or off via the Session Configurations dialog.
