Displaying Logs

Logs provide details about events that have occurred during system tasks (system log), queries (queries log) or indexing operations (index log). The log entries are similar to those of the CES Console. Though, logs keep track of past events; whereas, the CES Console provides real-time information (see Using the CES Console).

Note: Before creating logs, it is preferable to adapt the log settings that determine the level of detail registered for each log and the time period during which logs are kept. By default, they are deleted after 90 days (see Modifying the Log Settings).

To create a log

1. On the Coveo server, access the Administration Tool (see Opening the Administration Tool).
