Troubleshooting tools

Troubleshooting Tools

Provides the following tools:

  • Send Server Logs - Enables the user to export Lucity server logs via email to an address he or she designates. This includes the logs for the Web app, Identity Server, Internal REST API, and Services. The system generates these emails, however, it does not indicate who the logs belong to; therefore, the logs should not be emailed directly to Lucity Support. (Instead, the user should send the logs to him or herself and then forward them to Lucity Support.)

    security This tool requires the Lucity Apps > Lucity Web > Email Rolling Log and Admin > Lucity App Admin > Run permissions.

    Note: This does not work in Non-production clients (NPR licenses)

  • View Licenses in Use - Lists the licenses that the current user is using. (Does not appear if an agency uses ELA or Name User Licenses)
  • Send Data Statistics - Allows users to manually send data statistics to Lucity. Information about Lucity's Data collection policy.
  • Clear Local Preferences - Clears out any saved preferences/settings for all Lucity web users on this computer. Includes colors, fonts, recent modules, etc...
