Log Viewer

Last updated on

Overview

AccelByte Cloud's Log Viewer is a service that allows you to review the traffic logs from AccelByte Cloud's services. Every interaction made by a user, player, or application with an endpoint 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 assist in identifying 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:

UsagePermissionsAction
Query LogADMIN:NAMESPACE:{namespace}:LOGREAD

Permissions work slightly differently depending on whether they are assigned to IAM Clients or to Roles which are assigned to users. For more information, see AccelByte Cloud's Authentication and Authorization documentation.

Viewing Service Logs in the Admin Portal

View a Log

  1. In the Admin Portal, choose the namespace you wish to open. The Log Viewer sits outside of namespaces in the Platform Configurations menu, so the logs can theoretically be accessed from any namespace. In practice, when you use the Log Viewer, only the logs from the namespaces to which you have access to will be visible.

  2. Open the Platform Configurations menu at the top-right corner of the screen and select Log Viewer.

  3. On the Log Viewer page, you can view every log from every namespace to which you have. To find a log, you can either browse the log list directly or use the filters available on the left side of the page.

    • 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:
