You can use the configuration parameters in appSettings.json to control the Web API behavior.
The appSettings.json file
stores the configuration of the Web API. It is found in the Web API installation folder, at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Genetec\Genetec Mission Control Web API\ by
default.
The following table lists the configuration parameters:
| Parameter | Description |

For more information on configuring Serilog, see the descriptions of serilog-sinks-file and serilog-sinks-eventlog on GitHub. |
