How large is a Black Box log file if I leave the Code Level Black Box tracing my application for several days at the remote site without dumping the buffer to the log file?
The Code Level Black Box does not write to the log file unless the application crashes, exits, the Black Box is closed, a manual dump is forced, dump by timer is used or any action caused by a trigger is made to occur. When any of these situations take place, the Black Box will dump the content of the cyclic memory buffer (1MB by default) and the stack to the log file. And each successive write to the log file will be appended to it increasing its size uniformly each time there is a reason to write to the hard drive. If the Code Level Black Box is closed (not minimized), and reopened, a new log file with the same name will overwrite the previously created log file. Please note that the size of the cyclical memory buffer can be changed in the BugTrapper TCI.
