How can I get the application logs?

Viewing the logs

Web browsers provide a JavaScript console as part of their developer tools. This console is useful for the following reasons:

• Errors and warnings that occur on a web page are logged into the console.
• If needed, JavaScript commands for interacting with a web page can be executed in the console.

These logs from the console can be copied to add to your query when requested by us.

To open this console, the keyboard shortcuts are different per browser:

1) CHROME:

Opening the “Console” panel of Chrome’s DevTools:

• Windows and Linux: Ctrl + Shift + J

• Mac OS: Cmd + Opt + J

Note: In addition to the “Console” panel, there also exists a smaller slide-up console which can be toggled via Esc while any of the other panels is active.

2) FIREFORX:

4. Compress the log as a zip file using the tool of your choice, then send it to us.
