    • Gateway IP Address.
       Host IP address of the gateway. This information is read-only.
    • Gateway ZeroMQ Port.
       Default local port on the computer hosting the gateway. The gateway uses the port to talk to drivers and applications. Change the port to use an alternate port.
      TIP:
      Do not use Port 50001 as a Gateway ZeroMQ Port because this port is used by FactoryTalk Edge Gateway configuration tool (GUI) and can not be assigned to FactoryTalk Edge Gateway service.
    • Path to Log File.
       Path to the location of the log file.
    • Maximum Log File Size.
       Maximum allowable size of each log file.
    • Backup Log File Count.
       Number of backed up log files.
    • Compress Log File.
       Activation or deactivation of log file compression. Activate this setting to compress backup files and to create an fteg.log.gz file.
      FactoryTalk Edge Gateway
       creates an fteg.log.gz file when the maximum log file size is reached. After creation of an .fteg.log.gz file, new logs are logged in a .log file. Compression only applies to older logs.
