As a confluence system administrator, you might be able to set logging levels, but due to security and compliance reasons, it is very common that you don't have access to the home directory on the Confluence server to actually view the content of the log files.
Once you receive a log file from the server administrator it is most likely outdated, which makes live testing and troubleshooting impossible.
While troubleshooting is part of the daily life of the Confluence administrator, the burden to involve 3rd parties to finally get access to outdated content slows down the entire process.
With Last Log for Confluence, important log files are always at your fingertips and accessible through the Confluence administration interface. Simply use the powerful built-in searching and filtering features to add some fun to troubleshooting.
The app can easily be downloaded through the Atlassian Marketplace.
After a successful installation, the app is ready to use and doesn't need further adjustments.
Head over to the administration board in your Confluence instance. You should be a Confluence administrator to access this section.
Go to Manage apps in the administration interface. Here you can both use the app and check whether the app is installed.
Scroll down in the sidebar until you reach the section LAST LOG.
Click on View log to access the Last Log interface and start analyzing your logs!
