Application logs
View application log
Events recorded in the Data Hub application log are able to be viewed via a separate browser tab accessed from the Settings tab.
The information that is available for display from the log file can be controlled using the Application Log Verbosity setting in the Application Metrics group.
Note
Data Hub supports logging to an SEQ log server, which provides a more comprehensive toolset for working with logs.
The Application log link is available from Settings > Utility Toolbar.
The amount of information available for display is based on the Application Log Verbosity setting. The Minimum level drop-down list can then be used to further filter this available information.
Display options:
Verbose. Displays all information about every event to the table.
Debug. Displays only Debug, Information, Warning, Error, and Critical Error events to the table.
Information. Displays only Information, Warning, Error, and Critical Error events to the table.
Warning. Displays only Warning, Error, and Critical Error events to the table.
Error. Displays only Error and Critical Error events to the table.

Use the Message filter text box to filter the displayed log information based on the messages written to the log file. The filter is dynamic, and the log information is automatically updated as you type.
Use the Before text box to filter the displayed log information by the date the information was written to the log file. The filter is dynamic, and the log information is automatically updated as you adjust the filter options. Only log information that was written prior to the specified date/time is displayed.
Important
The number of log-days available is based on the Application Log Retention setting. If only a single day of log information is saved, then going back more than one day will lead to no information being displayed.
