Identify Bugs Using Logs

​

Overview

The Logs dashboard provides comprehensive visibility into all EnSync activity, making it easy to identify and diagnose issues.

​

Quick Diagnosis

​

1. Filter by Error Level

In the Logs dashboard:

• Set Level filter to “Error” or “Critical”
• Review recent errors
• Look for patterns or repeated failures

​

2. Check Event Delivery Failures

Filter by Type: “Event Logs”

• Look for delivery failures
• Check error messages for reasons:
  • Invalid appId
  • Permission denied
  • Partner offline/disconnected
  • Schema validation failure

​

3. Review Connection Issues

Filter by Type: “App Logs”

• Look for connection/disconnection events
• Check authentication failures
• Identify credential issues

​

Common Issues

​

Events Not Being Delivered

Symptoms: Partner reports missing events Diagnosis:

1. Filter logs by event name
2. Check if events were published
3. Look for delivery errors
4. Verify recipient appId is correct

Common Causes:

• Wrong appId in publish call
• Partner’s receive permissions don’t include event
• Partner disconnected

​

Schema Validation Errors

Symptoms: Publish calls failing Diagnosis:

1. Filter logs by “Error” level
2. Look for “Schema validation failed” messages
3. Check error details for which fields failed

Common Causes:

• Payload doesn’t match event definition
• Missing required fields
• Wrong data types (e.g., string instead of number)

​

Permission Denied Errors

Symptoms: “Permission denied” errors in logs Diagnosis:

1. Filter by error level
2. Find permission denied messages
3. Check which app and event path

Common Causes:

• App doesn’t have send permission for event
• Partner doesn’t have receive permission
• Event path typo

​

High Error Rate

Symptoms: Many errors in short time period Diagnosis:

1. Set time range to last hour
2. Filter by “Error” level
3. Look for common error messages
4. Check if errors are from specific app or event

Common Causes:

• Deployment issue (bad code pushed)
• Partner system down
• Schema change without updating publishers

​
