The View Log window provides three tabs for examining logs, errors, and actions taken by Aqua Data Studio. This is useful for troubleshooting issues and support questions, and monitoring server connection status. The Logs and Support information can be found under the main application menu item Help.

For details on recording and viewing SQL events, see the SQL Log page.


Error log

Displays a running list of errors gathered after the View Log has been launched. These errors accumulate only as long as the View Log is open. The Save To Clipboard button makes it easy to include specific log contents in an email or document. The quick filter within the Error Log allows filtering by log level.

Console

This can intercept stdout, stderr, and uncaught exceptions. Functions are the same as a command prompt or terminal for the operating system for viewing errors. Incorporating this in the application means not having to leave the application to launch a terminal or console during troubleshooting. The Save To Clipboard button makes it easier to include specific console contents in an email or document. 

Archive

Collection of all of the Error Logs as text files. Each may be opened by double-clicking, which launches a text editor. The quick filter allows quick searching of contents. The columns within the Archive are sortable by clicking on the column headers.

Startup Log

Displays information on Aqua Data Studio's most recent launch, including version number, date, time, Java version, memory use, system CPU count, and file encoding.

Logging

By default, a rolling file logger is always enabled to ~/.datastudio/datastudio.log

This logger is configured to write up to 3 files of up to 300KB each, using "%d{M/d HH:mm:ss.SSS} %C{1}.%M %m%n layout.  (Logging month/day).

The logger can be turned off by placing logger.config file into ~/.datastudio directory.  This file overrides built-in configuration and offers the developers or end-users virtually unlimited configuration choices.

Example Config File

# root logger
log4j.rootLogger=all, stdout, FILELOG

# console appender
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%C{1}.%M %m%n

# file appender
log4j.appender.FILELOG=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.FILELOG.File=c:/datastudio.log
log4j.appender.FILELOG.MaxFileSize=20MB
log4j.appender.FILELOG.MaxBackupIndex=5
log4j.appender.FILELOG.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
