Logs and debugging

Logs provide you with information on how actions are executed. Once you run an action, you can check out the Logs tab at the bottom to access this data.

Here, you can switch views depending on the log levels you need or just manually select specific levels:

• Default logs level - Log, Info, Warn, Error

• Full logs level - default plus Verbose

Debugging actions with console.log

When working with the code, it's important to be able to debug it right away. You can add a console.log function to your code and troubleshoot right in the Logs tab, with no need to open the browser developer console.

Let's say you have a transformer function that is not working properly, and you want the user with the customer number 103 to have a correct value. Add the following console.log function to your code, run the action and check the Logs tab:

return data.map(item => {
  if (item.customerNumber === 103) {
    console.log('Customer #103', item);
  }
  return item;
});

Now, you can see the result of your console.log function in the Logs tab. You can use the same approach and debug your code directly in the app, without the need to open the developer console.

Besides the console.log , other standard functions are supported as well, such as console.info, console.warn and console.error.

Debugging actions performance

You can find details about the action's performance, for example its response time, in the Result tab. Simply hover over the question mark icon next to the Request time metric.

Tooltips are available for all data source-based actions.

The following metrics are available:

• Request time - total time taken to make the request

• Response size - the size of the response returned by the server

• Request sent - time taken to upload the request to the UI Bakery server

• Data source roundtrip - time to send the request from the UI Bakery server to your data source and receive the result back to the UI Bakery server

• Content download - time to download the response from the UI Bakery server to a user browser

UI Bakery performance limits

The following limits are fixed for the cloud version, but can be set up in the on-premise version.

Response size	25MB
Request size	50MB
Timeout	90 seconds
Requests per second	3
