Log Analysis

The Log Analysis console allows you to analyze Genesys application log files. You can open several log files and review key data points, such as ConnIDs, for a single call flow across application logs.

Available actions include:

• Isolate call flows for a given connection ID (ConnID) or domain name (DN)
• Graph a call flow across multiple log files
• Identify all error or warning messages in a log file
• Drill down on a specific event or message to see detailed information
• Highlight any text in a log file and right-click to search the Genesys Knowledge Base for solutions related to that text

Important

Log Analysis is a resource-intensive functionality due to parsing of data. If the utilized memory in the Workbench Server host is approaching exhaustion, you will receive a notification on the bottom right of the Log Analysis browser window. Opening more files at this time may result in substantial performance degradation for all Workbench users.

• You can click on the Clear Display (trash can) icon to purge all files currently open in Log Analysis and start a new session.
• It can take some time to index and process a log file for analysis. While the file is being processed, you will see a “spinner” indicator.

When the processing of a log file has completed, the Log Analysis console shows a list of events in that log file.

Log Analysis Icons Menu

The Log Analysis screen has several icons you can use to analyze log files:

Click the “Select a file” icon to open a single log file or an LFMT log package.

Click the “Select a folder” icon to open a group of log files in a folder.

Click the Index icon to list all events for a key data point, such as a Connection ID (ConnID).

Click the Statistics icon to view available statistics for the log files currently open in the Log Analysis console.

Click the Clear Display (trash can) icon to clear the log files currently loaded in the Log Analysis console, so you can review a new log or set of logs.

You can also click on any of the events listed in the top right pane, and the full log file is displayed in the bottom right pane, with the details for that log event highlighted in red. You might need to scroll down to see the red text.

Selected Log Event Highlighted in Red in Bottom Pane

You can select a word or phrase in the log file details pane at the bottom right and right-click to search the Genesys Knowledge Base for troubleshooting information about that log event or error message.
