Where are the log files saved?
There are a variety of log files you may need access to when using Eggplant Functional (EPF) or Fusion Engine (EPF running without it's GUI). Some of them enable you to review and analyze script results, and others are for troubleshooting purposes.
- If EPF is started from the DAI Run Agent and the Run agent is running as a service using the Local System Account, EPF logs are written in the Windows system profile instead of in the user profile:
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\EggplantorC:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Eggplant - If you need help troubleshooting OCR, contact Eggplant Support for assistance with enabling the generation of OCR-related logs.
See the table below for a list of the various types of log files and where to find them in the Eggplant Test interfaces, and in your file browser. For more detailed descriptions of script run-related results files, and how to view them in the EPF interface, see Reading Test Results.
