Log Database

FastTransfer supports logging to a Microsoft SQL Server or PostgreSQL database.

To enable database logging, configure the log database connection string in a settings file:

  • The default settings file is FastTransfer_settings.json
  • You can specify a custom settings file using the --settingsfile parameter

Complete configuration examples for both MSSQL and PostgreSQL are available in the Configuration Examples page.

Information

In case the database is not reachable, FastTransfer will fail and will refuse to continue. If you want to continue without logging in the database, you can rename the FastTransfer_settings.json file to something else (like FastTransfer_settings.json.save) and FastTransfer will use the console log only.
