Is there any way to write custom logs for a workflow in Alteryx server

Question

Server creates log files and saves them to a location set in our Server's system settings. If I want to write my own custom log messages, Is there any option or methods available in Alteryx or should I need to use any external standard logging systems like Grafana.

Hey @Fernando Vizcaino

Thank you. I will check on that.

If any other references to interface Alteryx with Grafana could help much.

Thanks in advance,

Deepika.

Hey @deepika_durvasula ,

I don't have any experience with Grafana but I can see they have APIs we can connect to. You can use the download tool and build the connector between alteryx and Grafana.

Hey @Fernando Vizcaino

Thanks for the reply.

I have tried the message tool but I want to use external standard logging systems like Grafana. I am new to this topic and want to know how to interface Grafana with Alteryx.

Thanks in advance.
