Alteryx Job Log - identify errors in workflow

fitch1892

Hello, Im wondering if there's a way to not only access the alteryx job log in a workflow, but to identify and isolate an error message that is in the log. For example, if I have a job that fails, I want to be able to identify that specific error displayed in the log in a workflow. Is this possible?

Hello,

Are you wanting to do this in a server environment or on the desktop? 

This thread (below) actually covers how to set up logs in both. I think that if you wanted to query logs, you should put all log files into a designated folder, rather than the temp location that I believe is default. Then you would query in those log files and parse. Likely using REGEX to look for the "ERROR" flag.
