Log Reader

Overview

Plug-in Notes:

Allows only System Administrators or members of the Designers group to access log data.

On multi-application-server environments, logs will only be shown from a single application server.
Custom headers can be specified as an optional parameter. This is meant to be used for .csv files that don't contain a header.

Read files in the Appian /log folder (.csv or .log) and return them as structured data
Aggregate data from a .csv file

We are having the same issue as well, and it turns out it's due to the new column. When the log file rolled over, it pulled from the new one fine, but we can't retrieve data from older files. We are relying on this plugin to build auditing reports, so missing data is a big issue for us!

Are there any plans to update this plugin? so that it can support the tracking of site usage logs in 23.3 environment

The plugin has a problem with mixed log files. With Appian 23.3, there was a new field introduced, PageGroup, which was not there in the previous release for sites_usage.csv.

Rolling over the log file will most probably cure the issue.

If you are on-prem you can do it yourself. If on cloud open a support request and ask them to roll over the sites_usage.csv so that only the latest version is active with the additional group (no column mix).
