# Configure the Legacy Out-of-Process Error Log

IMPORTANT: Out-of-process error logging is available only when you use the legacy out-of-process method. See Use the Legacy Out-of-Process Method.

To configure the out-of-process error log, set the following configuration parameters in the `[kvooplog]` section of the `formats.ini` configuration file.

Option | Description
--- | ---
`KvoopLogName` | The path and file name of the log file. The default is `C:\temp\kvoop.log` on Windows and `/tmp/kvoop.log` on UNIX.
`LogFileSize` | The maximum size of the log file in KB. The minimum is 1 K. If you do not specify a size, the default of 2 MB is used.
`OverWriteLog` | This option determines whether the log file is overwritten when the maximum log file size (`LogFileSize`) is reached. To overwrite the log, set this option to `1`. If you set this option to `0`, new entries are not reported in the log file.

For example:

    [kvooplog]
    KvoopLogName=filepath
    LogFileSize=1024
    OverWriteLog=1
