Question / Help OBS Log files - What's important?

[its_Heisenberg]

Hi,

Can anyone explain some of the important things I should be looking out for on an OBS log.
I've seen from some posts that some people are able to work out common issues by looking at certain things in the logs.

So I understand 'Frames rendered vs dropped' and it's implication but what about some of the other settings?
Anything important that I should keep an eye on?

Thanks,

Dropped frames and lagged frames a definitely important. Dropped frames are from a bad connection to the server, and lagged frames are from the computer running too slowly to keep up with the speed at which the encoder needs to run.

The profiler has some important information in it, too, which is explained here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5542
