Console logs

What are console logs?

Console logs provide visibility into the actions and events on a user's computer when problems occur. When combined with Cloud-side logging, console and network logs provide Engineers Team with a full picture of an issue. It can be difficult, if not impossible, to troubleshoot issues with incomplete information.
