  • Completely overhauled logging functionality:
  • FlowForce Server now provides more comprehensive, easy-to-navigate server and job logging functionality for faster management and troubleshooting.
  • New Log View:
  • A new, easy-to-navigate log view allow you to view as many or as few records and desired, and then copy a permalink for that exact view to share or re-open later. The navigation bar lets you filter the results to view records from a particular date range or time, as well as to filter results based on minimum severity (info, warning, error), and object path.
  • Each run of a job creates unique job instance in the log. Clicking an instance ID in the log navigates to the respective instance log and clicking the object path opens the editor for that object. You can now also export records in the current view to a JSON file.
  • Instance Log:
  • Clicking an instance ID in the main log view opens the new instance log, which lists the steps executed, including interactions of for-each steps, how many times the job was retried, and streams produced by executing mappings or by the command line function.
