Using the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service log files to view information for connections to BlackBerry devices

The BlackBerry Device Service writes data for each BlackBerry device connection that the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service processes in the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service log files.

You can find the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service log files on the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Device Service. You can identify BlackBerry MDS Connection Service log files by the component identifier MDAT in the log file name.

Log file example: BlackBerry device user initiates the proxied connection

<LAYER = IPPP, DEVICEPIN = u29, DOMAINNAME = test.rim.net, CONNECTION_TYPE = DEVICE_CONN, CONNECTIONID = 852164874, DURATION(ms) = 3500, MFH_KBytes = 0.908, MTH_KBytes = 38.218, MFH_PACKET_COUNT = 1, MTH_PACKET_COUNT = 2>

Log file example: BlackBerry Device Service initiates the connection (push)

<LAYER = IPPP, DEVICEPIN = <devicepin>, DOMAINNAME = kmtestd, CONNECTION_TYPE = PUSH_CONN, CONNECTIONID = -432667474, DURATION(ms) = 600090, MFH_KBytes = 0, MTH_KBytes = 10.477, MFH_PACKET_COUNT = 0, MTH_PACKET_COUNT = 4>
