Turn on FMS logs

Hello there.

I am running a FMS 3.5 and I need to turn on my logs.

I am using Sawmill to analyze the log files from this dedicated FMS, and I need to be able to gather reporting information on-

1) my VOD folder - located inside \program files\.....adobe...\FMS...\VOD  etc

2) live streaming: when I use FMLE to send a stream to my server, I'd like to see those logs as well.

I have looked online into a few things... I found an Adobe document, which mentions a SERVER.xml file and a tag that controls the logging. Mine seems to be enabled but I am not seeing any information on the VOD I am serving my viewers from the VOD directory, and I also don't see any information on the live streams I send to the server.

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_AdminGuide/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119f29260bd-7ffa.html

Could someone please provide me an easy step-by-step to turn this on and start logging all the data I serve from the FMS, both on-demand and live stats?

Thank you for your time.

    FMS logs are turned on be default so you should see things getting logged. May be you are looking at wrong place. There are three kinds of logs - one is access.00.log which tells you in details about connections, stream start/stop and other things, second is diagonistic logs which tell state of FMS (edge.00.log, core.00.log , master.00.log) & third is application logs which you should see under each application log directory (this will basically print out all your trace statement from application code & errors if any).

    For all traffic related stuff - you need to check access.00.logs - you should see it under <FMS installed directory>/logs
