Viewing Qlik Sense Script Log

rwunderlich — Thu, 20 Jul 2017 14:22:27 GMT

Does anyone know of a simple way to view the script log from the last reload when developing in QS Server? I know I can go to the server ProgramData folder, but what if I don't have access to the server? Am I missing something easy?

The last log is available in the QMC, do you have access?

Did you ever get this answer?

hi Rob!

You can try this:

LOGS:

LOAD

filename() as LOGNAME,

ROWNO() AS ROW,

"@1:n"

FROM

[lib://yourlib/PROGRAMDATA\Qlik\Sense\Log\Script\*.log] (fix, utf8, no labels);

the problem is that you read all log files, so you need the description; you have two options:

1) If its only one log to read, you can go to the qmc, in apps, you can filter the app and add the column with the id to filter in the LOGS table;

2) The license monitor get the app name (that's the field) reading the logs folder.

I hope it has been useful to you!

Had the same question, asked around.

In QMC, go to the Tasks. In the Status column, click on the info icon, and thee will be "Download Log" at the bottom.

But if you work in QS server, the log update ONLY when it runs from the qmc tasks, not manually.

Hi Jose,

Thanks for the reply. That's the tasklog. I want the script log.

Hi Juan,

I thought about loading from the log folder, but that's a bit clunky for what I want. I don't want to do analysis, I just want to see my last log quickly to help diagnose a script failure during development, usually wanting to see variable substitution.

As an alternative, I'm learning to value the Sense Output window. The error messages there can be pretty specific.

I've also found that a breakpoint in the debugger will show a statement after variable substitution, very useful and something I never noticed before (or forgot).

The logs are also stored in Qlik\Sense\Logs\Scripts\

Rob,

I think the debuguer is the best option to do that!

By the way, I create a qvf to read the logs easy; the only thing is that it have to be reloaded after run the qvf where we work.

Hello Juan,

How do I use your QVF? I am facing issue with connection - lib://ArchievedLogsFolder QS01/'; and 'ServerLogFolder QS01'. How do I replace these values? I am currently trying it firstly on Qliksense Desktop. I would want to implement it on my QS Server as well once it works well on QS Desktop.

TIA
