  1. Debugging Archivematica

Where to find application logs

All the Archivematica microservices write their logs to our shared logging cluster. You can use these links to jump to a pre-filtered search for Archivematica logs:

  • in prod

  • in staging

There are a couple of extremely chatty logs which are filtered out by default, because they usually don't have any information relevant for debugging.
