Logs


The Logs page on the dashboard consists of two tabs:

  • Query Log: The query log contains details about the queries that are made to your CData Connect account.
  • Audit Log: The audit log records administrative tasks, including user creation, permission changes, and more.

Query Log

The Query Logs tab displays a list of performed queries and the following information for each one:

  • Timestamp: The time when the query occurs, formatted as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS AM/PM UTC
  • Query Type: The category of the query
  • User: The login Id of the CData Connect user who makes the query
  • Status: The final state of the query; that is, whether it succeeds or fails
  • Query Text: The text and destination of the query

At the bottom of the query table, you can select the number of queries to display per page and you can navigate between pages of results.

Query Details

Clicking any query in the log expands the query and displays detailed information about it. The fields and contents can vary between queries of different types.

You can click the Logs button in a query details section to download a log file that contains details about the query. These log files are useful in troubleshooting errors that are related to issuing queries to CData Connect.

Notes:

  • You can increase the logging verbosity for a connection on the Advanced Settings page for that connection. See Data Sources for more information.
  • CData Connect saves log files for seven days only. Log files older than seven days are deleted automatically.
