Workflow Conductor Log Viewer

Workflow Conductor Log Viewer

sa08LogViewer.jpgThe Conductor Log Viewer displays log messages from the Conductor database. The Log Viewer can display messages generated from Conductor Studio (Design time log) or from workflows (Run time log), and can show messages for the current site, for all sites in the Web application, or for the entire Farm.

The level of detail for Conductor Studio design time logs is based on the Workflow Conductor Studio Logging setting in the Workflow Conductor General Settings page. The level of detail for workflow run time logs is based on the Logging Level selected for each widget in the workflow. See Widget Properties Tab for more information.

NOTE: If you leave the default Errors Logging Level setting for all widgets in your workflow and your workflow runs with no errors, you will not see anything in the Run time log view in Log Viewer. This is normal behavior.

The Conductor Log Viewer Web Part is available in the Web Part Gallery after Workflow Conductor is installed. Users with the Add and Customize Pages right can add the Web Part to a page. The Add and Customize Pages right is included by default in the Design and Full Control permissions.
