Ran a workflow on Wednesday and need logs? Do Designer saves them? Where?

Hello

 

I ran a workflow on Wednesday and I got 20K results. Then I ran it on Thursday and I got only 13K results.

 

For the DB folks to investigate the issue they are asking me for the Wednesday and Thursday log from Alteryx.

 

Is there a way to find this on my computer?

Thanks in advance

Rodrigo

Hey @calloni, if you go to Options > User Settings > Edit User Settings

One of the top options is to set a logging directory, like so:

If this is blank/greyed out like mine, then your workflows aren't being logged unfortunately. If it's populated, that's where the engine log files will be dumped.

If the "Logging Directory" field is greyed out (as mentioned by DataNath) you can enable it with the 'Override System Settings' checkbox.
