Each ParserMonster application records the session activity in a log file.
The log file name is based on the application's name, for example, Retrievem-Session.log.
In addition to the information that you see in the ParserMonster Framework GUI Status Box, the log records initialization, script traces and errors.
Here is a typical log:
