Logger

When contacting support we might ask you to send app logs. Here you can select type of logger level, chose Logs everything to get the most details.

Active (days): is the number how long logs are persistent.

With the Connector for Jira update to version 2.10.0, the Logger menu has been rebuilt.

The Logger section is responsible for configuring log sensitivity (log level) and obtaining application logs.

In case of any application errors, please include logs in your reported issue, this will speed up the support process.

Logger section

There are 3 logger levels:

  • None (1) - don’t gather any logs

  • Errors (2) - gather only error information in the logs

  • All (3) - logs every situation, etc. warnings, errors, data fetch - use this option to log & report issues which can be reproduced

Logs stay in your worksheet, but you can change the number of days to keep them active (1). Use Download (2) button to save directly to a .txt file or using Copy (3) option to copy current logs to your clipboard.

After executing the required option Download or Copy information about the operation performed is displayed at the bottom of the Excel Connector (1). In the case of Download the logs, a window appeared (desktop Excel app example) where you can open the saved logs, go to the file location or delete the downloaded logs(2).

 


Logs can be copied to clipboard directly from the Error message (1).

Remember to include logs in case of any bug reports, here is our support: Support Portal
