Flat File Logging enables the SeeTec Core Service to create text files in nearly real time containing the same information as the report mode.
Flat file logging consists of two features:

All logged events are equivalent to those one that can be requested using the Report Mode.

To use the flat file logging, it must be enabled in the license settings.
Since only CoreServices instances (master or slaves) are writing the log files, it is highly recommended that slaves are used in separate branches each. Only then log files can be written when a network failure occurs for example between a branch and the company.
