I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but I can't for the life of me find where in Alteryx Designer to see the execution log for apps run with the magic wand. If I run it via the the gallery on our Alteryx Server, I can connect to the controller under 'Options'->'View Schedules' and view the output. Where do I find this for locally executed applications?
In the System Settings, the last section is called Engine Configuration. On this page, there's a field called "Logging Directory" if that field is empty, it is disabled. Otherwise you can specify any folder you'd like your local Alteryx engine to write logs to.
So the only way is to wade through log files? I figured there would be a place in the UI to access it (much like when you run a normal job or a job runs on the server)...
If you want to watch the log, you could run wizards in debug mode rather than using the wand. Debug would open that wizard as a workflow in Designer and the Results window would work like normal.
Debug mode can be accessed from the Interface Designer window (Ctrl+Alt+D) from the wand icon ("Test View") that appears on that window.
