Logs
The Logs tab provides a time-filtered view of the Dynamic Workflow service logs and External Event service logs.
As described in the Workflow Information topic, the best way to populate Logs is to first find the workflow in the Run History tab, then click the View Logs tool. This pre-filters the Logs to the chosen workflow.
Running Logs
Before you click Run to generate the log, consider adding filters to fine tune the result:
|
Date and Time Filter
|
Level of Severity
You choose the minimum severity level you want to see. In other words, Verbose shows all messages, Information shows all except Verbose, Warning shows Warnings and Errors, and because Error is the most severe, it only shows Errors. |
|
Running Workflow ID
TIP: The easiest way to get this ID is to find the
workflow in the Run History tab, then click View Logs. It brings you
to the Logs tab pre-filtered to that workflow.
|
Exclude Service Bus Errors
These can be voluminous. Thus, excluding them might make it easier to digest the remaining log. |
After you click Run to generate the log, there are other tools to assist you in investigating the contents:
-
Find (Ctrl+F): This lets you search for words within the log. If there are multiple pages, it searches the entire log, not just the page you are currently viewing.
-
Jump to Top/Jump to Bottom: These are quick ways to move to the top or bottom of the current page of the log.
-
Auto-Scroll to End: This is a toggle (on or off). If toggled on, after you run a report, it brings you immediately to the end of the log (if there are multiple pages, it brings you to the end of the last page).
NOTE: Are you not finding something you know is in the report? Perhaps you forgot this toggle was on, and you are currently viewing the last page. -
Copy and Paste: The log is text, so you can highlight and copy in order to paste into another application.
