This is actually a 2 part question:

  1. Is there a way to get a more verbose log from automations that don't have a workspace?
  2. If I can view the logs from the menu on the automation page, aren't the logs stored in a file somewhere on the server? So I can retrieve them in a file format?

 

Thanks!

Hi @robotix​ ,

1) Are you hoping to customize log messages using information that is coming from the trigger/action/external action in the automation? If so, you can do this using the Log action's text editor: https://www.screencast.com/t/fJEc7bgYuNW

 

2) Currently Automation logs are not stored as text files but in the backend database for FME Server. However, you can GET the text or download them as text files using the REST API: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_REST/apidoc/v3/index.html#!/automations/log_get_9

 

You'll just need the Automation ID (last part of the url) for the call. I.e. https://yourfmeserver.com/fmeserver/#/automations/abc12e345-67f8-90g1-h2ij-345k67l89mn

 

There are other requests for this so I have linked this post to an existing feature request in our system. Please feel free to share your use case for this as it may help to motivate this request 🙂

 

Hope that helps.
