# Log Viewer

# Overview

Log Viewer is a service that allows you to review the traffic logs from AccelByte services. Every user, player, or application’s interaction with the endpoints in our platform is collected and stored in logs by the Log Viewer service, and those logs can be accessed in the Admin Portal. Each log contains detailed information about the event that generated it, which can help you identify problems while troubleshooting.

# Permissions

Permissions are used to grant access to specific resources within our services. Make sure your account has the following permissions before you attempt to access the log viewer in the Admin Portal.

Usage Permissions Action
Query Log ADMIN:NAMESPACE:{namespace}:LOG READ

Permissions work slightly differently depending on whether they are assigned to IAM Clients or Roles assigned to users. For more information, read the Authentication and Authorization documentation.

# Viewing Service Logs in the Admin Portal

# View a Log

  1. In the Admin Portal, choose the namespace you want to open. The log viewer sits outside of namespaces in the Platform Configurations menu, so all logs can theoretically be accessed from all namespaces. In practice when you log viewer, only logs from namespaces you have access to will be visible.

    log-viewer

  2. Open the Platform Configurations menu at the top-right corner of the screen, then click Log Viewer.

    log-viewer

  3. On the Log Viewer page, you can view every log from every namespace you have access to. You can browse the list if you’re looking for a log from a very recent event, or filters available on the left side of the page to search for particular logs. The available filters are as follows:

    log-viewer

    • Request Time: filters the search by when a request was made. You can define the time range of the search by inputting the start and end times in UTC format in the From and To fields, respectively. The maximum period of time you can search for is 30 days.

    TIP

    By default, any log search will be restricted to results from the previous hour before you opened the Log Viewer page. If you want to search for older logs, you can input an earlier time into the From field.

    • Log Type: filters the search by type of log. There are currently two types of logs: REST and WebSocket. If you choose to filter by WebSocket logs, you can also use WebSocket Specific Filters.

    • Show Internal Calls: toggle this filter to include internal calls in the search. An internal call is a record that doesn’t provide a value to the user, such as a health check or revocation list. This filter is toggled to include internal calls by default. .

    • General filters:

      • Namespace: limits the search to a specific namespace. If left blank, the logs returned by your search will come from every namespace to which you have access.

      • Service Name: limits the search to a specific service. To use this filter, type the name of the desired service into the box that appears. The service names must be entered as per the following table:

      • Referrer: filters the search by a particular referrer from which the log was generated. To use this filter, type the web address of the referrer into the box that appears.

      • Response Duration: filters the search by logs with a specific response time. You can use this filter to search for logs with notably long or short response times. To use this filter, select Duration Option and choose from the following subfields:

        Response Duration
        Response Duration
        Less Than
        More Than
        Between

        If you selected Less Than or More Than, type the desired amount of time in milliseconds in the Duration field. Typing 100 would return logs with response times shorter or longer than 100 milliseconds, for example. If you selected Between, type the shortest response time you want to return in the Minimum Time field, and the longest response time you want to return in the Maximum Time field. All of the response times of the returned logs will fall within the given range.

    • WebSocket Specific Filters:
