This page is for PhixFlow administrators who need to monitor PhixFlow activity.
Overview
The System Console provides details on active and completed tasks, files imported and exported by PhixFlow, and the audit trail of changes made to PhixFlow's configuration.
| Excerpt |
|---|
Access to the console, depends on your privileges. Application users, analysis modellers and application designers are notified of errors that prevent their work, but are not notified of system warnings. These are only reported to the console. This means it is important for the PhixFlow administrator to monitor the console for warnings and to determine what action is required. |
For logs with information related to server and Tomcat traffic, see Server Log Files.
