log file location example please

[Enter feedback here]

I just want a simple example of logging to a text file in a location that I choose (even c:\temp\sample.log would do at first)
This documentation explains a lot but is missing the basic
Which setting will set the logfile location?
What does the initializeData do concretely

Hi @pierrecoach

That's a great suggestion. I'll file this in our backlog to address when we next update this article.
