Un-Blobbing MongoDB results OutputLog

So I am connecting to our Alteryx MongoDB (2023.2 patch 3) via odbc connection and I am wanting to access the outputlog for the jobs, However the log is stored as a Blob in "Binary format" and I am wondering if there is an easy way to extract the logs, all of the settings in the Blob convert tool haven't been working for me.

Hi @Kmaclean , 

 

By using the Alteryx Server Usage Report, you can leverage the Service parser macro to access the blob data. All you need to do is open the pre-built "Server data parsed" macro and incorporate it into your new workflow to effortlessly retrieve the blob data.

Hi, I am also trying to derive human readable information from outputlog to see status of completed scheduled jobs - does ServiceDataParser macro still work on 2023.2 or is there another method to achieve this please?

Hello,

There is no Alteryx Server Usage Report for the 2023.2.X version listed on the download site, where can we find it ?

@venza @Kmaclean @deepakvasu  I'm attaching the Service Data Parser macro here that still works on 23.2 for fields like the OutputLog in the ASResults table

Thank you for response and copy of macro. Unfortunately, I get errors in the first two steps of the macro.
