Windows Service Startup Failure Log

Is there a way to read what specific error is causing ravendb running as a windows service to fail? The alert only reports generic "fail" text and I can't find any documentation on if the full stack trace for an error is logged anywhere. If run directly in powershell I can see the error, but was hoping that the service would register itself in the event log viewer or something similar.

Thanks,

Kyle

That is usually in the event log, yes.

Otherwise, look at the debug logs

I see a System error on service failure, though the error message doesn't match the underlying error I can see in powershell.
system event log:
The resource loader failed to find MUI file

powershell:

System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to start the server due to invalid certificate configuration!

Additionally, if run as a windows service the exception is not logged to the Server\Logs\***.log file, but when run in powershell it is.

Would it be possible to bubble up the underlying exception to the event log (maybe even in an 'Applications and Service Logs' subject) or at least up to the ravendb log itself?

Thanks,

Kyle
