Obtaining Logs

To ensure normal system operation, improve troubleshooting efficiency, and locate and analyze problems in a timely manner, you can obtain and view the log information of CodeArts Agent by following the instructions provided in this section.

Log Level Description

Log levels increase in severity like this: Debug, Info, Warn, and Error.

  • Debug: Records detailed internal information during runtime, such as request details and process steps. This level is mainly used for debugging and fault locating in the development phase.
  • Info: Records key status information during normal runtime, such as service startup and request processing summaries, to help you understand the basic system workflow.
  • Warn: Records potential issues that may affect system stability, such as missing configurations and insufficient resources. These issues do not directly cause program interruption.
  • Error: Records errors that have caused some functions to be abnormal or operations to fail, such as API calling failures and data parsing errors. These errors require timely attention and rectification.

Setting the Log Level

Set the log level based on the actual scenario to control the output content and details of logs, thereby improving log readability and system debugging efficiency. You are advised to set the log level to Debug. Debug logs record internal code execution details during development and debugging, making it easier to locate and troubleshoot problems that occur during code execution.
