Logbooks

Logbooks allow you to record custom data generated during a flow runtime. You can define the custom data attributes and capture under Logbook definition.

Clients can define the data points to be stored as part of the logbook definition, along with the file rotation & file shipping policies. Logbooks can periodically be shipped to FTP, SFTP or AWS S3 locations.

After setting up a Logbook, using the custom logs tab (available in every node in the flow), clients can define the variables to be captured into the Logbook during a flow runtime.

To capture data in a Logbook, we need to configure Logbook at the following locations.

1.Create a Logbook
2.Setup Logbook for the flow
3.Configure Custom Logs (variable) in a node
