With DuraCore/DuraBolt release r3.2 we have added the system Log Viewer, which mirrors the ability of the same feature in the Macintosh and Windows desktop applications.  



  1. A tool shortcut button has been added to the DFE that, when clicked, expands to reveal available tools.
  2. Ink Use Calculator 
  3. Print Marks Editor 
  4. System Log Viewer - This is the feature we are concerned with in this article.


Clicking this button (4) will bring up the UI, below. 

From this UI you can look at log messages and filter them to find certain events.

The Server Log is the Navigator Server's log file.  The one with a device name (DuraCore321TR2) is a log for that device.  Devices are made in the Server's Device Manager at Server/Manage Devices.

The Server log is written to a file at the root of the Navigator Server directory.  The Device log is not written to disk. You can save or copy that log if you need to.  We'll show you how, below.





Filter the log with this field, located toward the top right of the UI.


Useful filter keywords: "error", "unexpected", "unable", "failed", "aborted", "fault", "warning", "start", "end".

 

You can limit the maximum entries to the last few hundred to save waiting on a log file with tens of thousands of entries.


Here we limited it to the last 200 entries:


You can also turn on and off the columns if you want to narrow down your search to just one of the columns (for example).





Use the two buttons below to either download the log to a file or to copy the log to the clipboard.
