This tab of the MSBuild action configures additional information about the build outputs.

 

File logger: Log the build output to a single file in the current directory.

 

File log number: If you don't specify a number, the file logger output file is named msbuild.log. If you specify number, the output file is named msbuildn.log, where n is number. Number can be a digit from 1 to 9.  You can use the Additional logger parameters option to specify the location of the file and other parameters for the file logger.

 

Distributed file logger: Logs the build output of each MSBuild node to its own file. The initial location for these files is the current directory. By default, the files are named "MSBuildNodeId.log". You can use the Additional logger parameters option to specify the location of the files and other parameters.

 

Distributed loggers: Log events from MSBuild, attaching a different logger instance to each node (optional, one per line).  The following examples show how to use this option:

 

XMLLogger,MyLogger,Version=1.0.2,Culture=neutral

MyLogger,C:\My.dll*ForwardingLogger,C:\Logger.dll

 

Additional logger parameters: Specifies any extra parameters for the file logger and the distributed file logger. The presence of this switch implies that the corresponding /filelogger[number] switch is present. Number can be a digit from 1 to 9.
