The LumenVox Manager is a service that monitors and controls other LumenVox Services running on the current machine. It also provides the Dashboard functionality that allows users to interact with the Dashboard from a web browser.

The LumenVox Manager is by default configured to run as a service/daemon on the installation machine. It can also run as a standalone console application for more detailed process information. By default it is not configured to run automatically at system startup.

See the documentation for the manager.conf configuration file for details about configuration options.

The manager_app.txt file contains general logging events, including any issues relating to connectivity with any of the LumenVox services that are being interfaced with.

The manager_restart.txt file contains startup and shutdown information, which includes a list of configuration settings that were detected at startup as well as diagnostic build and machine information that may be useful to technical support staff.

Additional http access and error logging files can be enabled using the HTTP_LOGGING configuration setting in manager.conf
