Logs

Since version GLPI 11 introduced a new page that allows you to read log files directly from the web interface. This new feature simplifies the work of administrators and technicians, as it is no longer necessary to connect to the server or open the files in an external editor to view their content.

On this page, GLPI displays a list of all available logs. For each log, you can see its name, size, and last modification date. This allows you to quickly identify which files are recent or large.

Clicking on a log opens its contents in the interface. The display has been modified to make it easier to read the various data. Users can now easily browse through log lines without leaving GLPI.

This page is not limited to technical files such as cron.log, mail-error.log or access-errors.log. It also provides access to GLPI's internal event logs.

These events correspond to actions performed in the application: ticket creation, object modifications, deletions, or even operations performed by a user. It is a very useful tool for auditing activity and understanding who did what in the tool.

Thanks to this new feature, viewing logs is now easier, faster, and more visual. Administrators save time when diagnosing problems (such as email sending errors), monitoring security (such as checking failed access attempts), or checking actions performed in GLPI.
