Hi Jim Doty san,

Thank you for review! I'm sorry my late reply...

Thank you for your check.

I understand. I think it means that it is necessary to confirm how the setting is going well.
There is no warning method when connection string or the environment variable is wrong.

So I added following document:
+ If the setting of the file path by the connection string or the environment variable is
+ incorrect, the log file is not created in the intended location.
+ The maximum log file size you set is output to the beginning of the file, so you can check it.
And I added the process. Please see my v2 patch.

Thank you for your measurement.
I'm thinking about adding a logging level so that only the necessary information can be printed by default. It was pointed out by Haribabu san's e-mail.
This minimizes the impact of logging on performance.
