QPR ProcessAnalyzer Logs

QPR ProcessAnalyzer logs events and operations into several types of logs that can be used for auditing, troubleshooting and other purposes.

Log Types

QPR ProcessAnalyzer collects the following logs:

• Operation Log: logs all the operations (requests to the server from the client) performed by the QPR ProcessAnalyzer Server.
• Script Log: logs information about running scripts.
• Excel Log: logs Excel client operations in the computer where the QPR ProcessAnalyzer Excel client is installed.
• Progress Log: logs recent operations in QPR ProcessAnalyzer with status messages.
• Log in Progress Status dialog: shows logs of an ongoing operation in the QPR ProcessAnalyzer Excel client.
• Installation Log: logs information related to the QPR ProcessAnalyzer Excel client installation.

Progress Log

The Progress Log contains recent operations done in QPR ProcessAnalyzer, showing date, time, type, name and id of the operation, as well as the performance information about the operation. Also, at the beginning of each line, the source of the information is listed. These can be one of the following:

• Server: shows operation status messages stored in the server side
• Client: shows operation status messages stored in the client side
• cLogs: shows Client.log messages from the client (the same entries as in Excel Log)

The start of each new operation is marked in the following way:

------------------ NEW OPERATION START -----------------

You can copy and paste the contents of the log for troubleshooting purposes.

A maximum of 100,000 rows is shown in the log. If there is more data than that, the log cuts it from the beginning, so the latest information is always shown. The log size (in characters) is shown at the end of the log.

Script Log

The Script Log contains information about the script that is currently running and scripts that have been run. The log contains, for example, the output of the WriteLog and Print commands used in the script, as well as details about possible errors. After a script execution has finished, you can access the Script Log by clicking the Show Details button.

QPR ProcessAnalyzer Excel Client Progress Status Log

When you run an operation in QPR ProcessAnalyzer Excel Client that takes longer than two seconds, the Progress Status dialog appears and shows the progress while the operation is running. The dialog shows the operation name and id (in parentheses), the progress of the operation with a progress bar indicator and the elapsed time. Also, when you extend the dialog window by dragging from the bottom right corner, Excel activity is shown under the progress bar indicator as follows:

• CPU: shows the percentage of CPU utilization (per core)
• Memory: shows the memory usage in megabytes
• In: shows the approximate amount of megabytes currently being received
• Out: shows the approximate amount of megabytes currently being sent
• Server logs updated: shows the timestamp when the Progress Log was last updated

When the dialog is resized, there is also a list of status messages including the timestamp of each message. For more information on these status messages, see Progress Log.

Progress Status dialog

While the operation is running, you can browse the contents of the dialog and also copy and paste text from it for troubleshooting purposes, for example. To terminate the operation before it is completed, click Cancel. The dialog will close automatically once the operation has completed.
