Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product. Learn more about how Cisco is using Inclusive Language.

Cisco Agent Desktop Logs

Logs include listings of Cisco Agent Desktop events and errors. These events can represent actions taken by a Desktop application, implications of user-defined configuration settings, or limitations of the hardware. The error codes are brief descriptions of the events.

Cisco Agent Desktop can keep debug logs and is disabled by default. Edit the fastcalllocal.ini and supervisor.ini files to enable this capability. The number represents the highest level. All levels below the level specified are written to the debug files when you set the level. Only the numbers specified are written to the debug files when the range is set. The performance of the application is affected if you do not set the level of the debug to the default level after the information is gathered in the debug files.

Note: Section 4 of Service Information Cisco Desktop Product Suite 4.5.5 (ICD) covers details of logs and error code for Cisco Agent Desktop.
