Logs Application

Logs are essentially a record of events that have occurred in a system. Viewing log entries enables you to monitor activities on the RunMyProcess platform. The Logs Application provides a way of viewing these logs.

1 Overview

As certain events occur on the RunMyProcess platform, their details are recorded in logs. The Logs Application allows you to view these records. There are seven categories of logs:

Log Categories
Access Log Holds details of logons to the platform.
Process Log Holds details of the processes that have run, including their status.
Composite API Log Records details of the Composite APIs that have run, including their status.
Custom Log Holds the log messages added to applications by the application developer.
API Call Log Records details on API calls made on the platform.
Version Log Records details on project versions.
Instance Deletion Log Records details on deleting Web interface and process instances.

2 Using the Logs Application

The Logs Application can be found in the Administration Applications section of your RunMyProcess homepage.

The interface is very straightforward. Tabs are used to separate the log categories. Clicking a category tab displays the related log information.

2.1 Searching

You can search for activities that occurred during a specific time frame.

LogSearch

The start and end date are mandatory but the time fields are optional.

For all log categories, apart from the access log, version log, and instance deletion log, you can select which environment you would like to consider - Test, Acceptance, or Live.

Click MagnifyingGlass to display the search results.

2.2 Filtering the Information

FilterMenu

You can use filters to locate specific entries or a group of entries that you are interested in. Use Filter to toggle the filter display.

To filter the log entries, choose a required filter type from the list and enter the criteria in the box beneath. The Logs Application provides the following filter types:

Filters
= Displays all records that are an exact match to the single value entered in the criteria field.
IN Allows you to enter more than one value, separated by commas. Displays the records that match any of the values you enter.
Contains Displays all records that contain the characters entered in the criteria field.

Click CancelFilter to remove the filters that are set and display all log entries again.

2.3 Navigation

Twenty log entries are displayed per page. Use the navigation bar to navigate through the pages.
