# AAV log file categories and subcategories

The 1903 release of Cloudhouse Alchemy Compatibility Packages introduced the concept of categories and subcategories to AAV logs created for child processes. Using a text viewer (such as Visual Code, Notepad++, etc.), to ease troubleshooting you can search the logs for any entries relating to a specific category/subcategory.

Applies to: `Alchemy`

## Current log file categories/Subcategories

The following is the current list of categories/subcategories you may see in an AAV log created for child processes (for example, `20190425-113000-000600-002820-MyApp.log`).

The category is the text before the dash (`-`), and the subcategory is the text after it. For example, in the case of the `Com` entries in the table below:

- The category is `Com`
- The subcategories are:

    - Virtualized
    - NotVirtualized.
