Uses

You can use the AR System Log Analyzer to perform the following tasks:

  • Filter the log file based on specific user
  • Filter the log file during a specific time period
  • Better manage the AR System 7.6.x and AR System 8.0 logs
  • Get the statistics of queued API calls, with the TOP N list
  • Collect report statistics on the long-queued API calls

A logging parameter called Queue Delay shows the length of time an API call has to stay in the queue. For more information about this parameter, see Setting server statistics options.
