Creating an application log filter

The Manage Application Logs dashboard shows the in-built log filters and any application logs that have been created. You cannot edit the in-built log filters but you can stop and restart them. You can create, edit, start, stop, and delete application logs. All log filters are available as predefined filters in the View Application Logs dashboard. The provided filters run until or unless you stop them. You can specify a finite lifetime for filters that you create but the lifetime is not saved with the filter.
  1. Select Dashboards > Logs > Manage Application Logs.
  2. Click +Add.
  3. Specify this information:
    Name
    Specify a name for the log filter.
    Description
    Optionally, specify a description of the filter.
    Events
    Click the lookup icon in the Events field and select the events to log. Click Apply.
    Note: You can save the filter from this point onwards.
    Minimum Level
    Select the severity level at which to log events. Events are logged at the selected level and all levels above it in the list. For example, select Debug, to log at all levels. Or select Error to log at the Error and Critical levels.
    Caution: 
    Setting the minimum level to Debug can produce a very large amount of log entries. Correspondingly, the log database may become slow or even run out of disk space. The recommendation is to use the Debug level with considerable care.
    Application
    Select the application for which to log events, or select All.
    Object Unique Names
    Optionally, specify a comma-separated list of the unique names of objects against which to log events. For example, specify the unique name of an Application Studio report.
    Users
    Optionally, specify a comma-separated list of users by which to filter the log.
  4. Click Save.
  5. Specify the length of time during which to log. The minimum that you can specify is one minute, but you can click Stop at any time to stop logging.
  6. Click Start to start logging.
