Hi,

I'm just wondering if there are any log file in Appian where I can find:

- The request that an integration object send and the response it gets.

- The request that a webApi execution get and the response it sends

Is that information logged any where?

To get that information, talking about integration, I keep the request in a process variable to help on debug tasks with other development teams, but I prefer not to do that, in order to keep process memory consumption low.

Thanks in advance!

It replaces a placeholder. So if you add a new placeholder at the end whenever writing to it, this will append the text. This is the most out-of-the-box way.

Requests and responses might contain sensitive information. Storing that in a log is probably no good idea.

Good point! Sounds like you're right Stefan.

Provided that there is not such a log on the platform. Is it possible generate some kind of custom log? I mean have a private log, conveniently secured, a file where applications can write business info.

I know that we can do that on db, but it is possible do that logging in a file?

Thank you

If this is necessary, you could have a text file with a placeholder and just write text to it using the text doc from template smart service.

That's an excellent point! If there isn't a log on the platform, that is. Is it possible to create a customized log? I'm referring to having a secure, private log where applications can write business data. Business logo design UK is aware that this can be done in a database, but is it also possible to do so in a file? Thank you very much.
