Log files are incredibly useful for Jira administrators. A function in Jira doesn't work as expected? An app is showing errors? The entire application is slow or doesn't respond at all? To investigate the problem, log files are the place to start troubleshooting as they contain information about all the processes in your Jira instance.
Without Last Log for Jira you would need application server access 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 - directly in the Jira administration user interface. View all your logs in one place, select the log you want to analyze and search for the information you're looking for with an advanced search and filter functionality!
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 Jira instance. You should be a Jira 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!
