Log files

Download cloud gateway log files by selecting a specified date. Once downloaded, you can open the log file in System Builder’s Network Log window.

The gateway contains three types of log file:

  • Network Log

  • System Log (Signify System Experts only)

  • MQTT Log (Signify System Experts only)

cloud project log files

Log files stored on the gateway are overwritten after 28 days, but the DCP stores a backup of previous log files. Log files are uploaded approximately every 30 minutes.

If the cloud gateway is offline for more than 28 days, local log files will be lost.

End-point scan

The End-point scan tab is a diagnostic tool to check that the cloud gateway can connect to all required services. Results should show as passed, but not all end-points are mandatory.

Total failure indicates a connectivity/firewall issue or a service outage. A single failure is more likely to indicate that an individual end-point server is down.

Note the Scan time stamp at the top of the page. To perform a new scan, click the Refresh button in the top right corner.

Please create a support ticket if any scan results are not passed.
