Log files are an administrator's best friend. A function in Jira doesn't work as expected? An app is showing errors? The entire application is slow or not responding at all? To investigate the problem, log files are the place to start troubleshooting.
The problem - you need application server access in order to inspect log files. Apart from being time-consuming to manually locate and inspect log files, for security reasons many Jira administrators don't even have access to the Jira home folder of the application server, where the logs are stored.
Last Log for Jira displays log files where they belong - the Jira administration user interface.
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.
Analyzing log files is the key to successful troubleshooting. With Last Log for Jira, you can finally analyze all log files directly in the Jira administration interface.
- All log files in a single location - Select the log file you want to analyze using a simple dropdown menu.
- Don't lose focus - Set the maximum number of entries to be returned.
- Don't get distracted - Switch to fullscreen mode to only show the information you need.
- Live view? Last Log for Jira comes with an auto-refresh feature so you can analyze the logs almost in realtime
The sheer number of log file entries can be overwhelming and it's easy to miss the exact information or error you are looking for. Not anymore!
- Filter for specific entries - simply specify the text you are looking for and Last Log for Jira filters the output accordingly.
- Exclude entries - specify entries that are not helping to get the job done by simply excluding them from the output.
- Search by regular expression - you know exactly what you are looking for? Use the regular expression filter and get results in no time.
