How To: Obtain Web Configuration (Jupyter) Logs for the Python tool


Starting with Alteryx Designer 2018.4 to 2019.4, the Python tool can now produce a log file for its web configuration, Jupyter. Note that the log file will reset when Alteryx Designer is restarted and a Python tool is added to the canvas, or a workflow containing a Python tool is loaded. This file can be helpful for troubleshooting whenever the Python tool GUI does not load.
 

Prerequisites

 

  • Alteryx Designer 2018.4 to 2019.4

 

Procedure

 

  1. Go to Alteryx default temporary folder (available through menu Options, User Settings, Edit User Settings, tab Default)
  2. Look for filejupyter_server.log

Example: %ProgramData%\Alteryx\Engine\jupyter_server.log
