{{Quickfixn}} How to get reason of disconnect?

[Ondra Květ]

Thanks for your answer.

My messages log has 400MB in a few hours (maybe 2 or more). This kind of
logging has no use for me, I don't really know how would I look for error
in that large chunk of data. I am using fix to download market data
(exchange rates only) - and the number of messages really goes sky-high
after a little while.

It would be nice if there was an option to choose to log events or messages
or both (I looked at QuickFix/J and it appears that they have this option).
If there is not, it should propably do without the event log for now.
