Enable Logging for the CoLab Integration in Siemens NX

Logging can be configured using a colab.properties file.

⚠️ Restart Siemens NX after modifying this file.

Configure the Log Level

Add the following property to colab.properties:

colab_nx_log_level=debug

Supported Values

  • error

  • warning

  • info

  • debug

  • off

Values are case-insensitive.

Configure the Log File Location

By default, log files are written to the same directory as nx-integration.dll.

To write logs to a different location, add:

colab_nx_log_directory=C:\Logs\CoLab

Relative paths are also supported.

Log Files

The integration generates the following log files:

  • colab-integration.log

  • colab-golab-integration.log

These files contain diagnostic information that can help identify and resolve issues.
