Hi! There is a way to show the ignition logs in a perspective view? To allow my clients to view some logs directly in the perspective without having to open the gateway page? Thanks thanks ---

Hi, No. I am saving the logs in a database table and showing in a perspective table. ---

You can do by sqllite driver ---

> [@weixionglichina](#): > > do by sqllite Not safe. SQLite is single-process and single-threaded. Using it to open the logging system's SQLite file at the same time will likely corrupt it, or will block logging from happening. Don't do it. ---

You can also show the wrapper log within a text area component. It's far less convenient to read it and there's no filtering available, but it works ---

I created a table in a database. Like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/b/9bd73daf5674e29dd281ebf0c77b78393e51412a.png) So I created a gateway event message handler: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/2/e20db45a5439eab99f42e5f60e55a9a2f3e1adc6.png) Anywhere in the project a I can send a message to create a log: ```auto system.util.sendMessage('PROJECT', 'Error_Handler', {'estacao': 'A400-63B', 'msg': 'QRCode ' + qrcode + ' ja cadastrado e OK'}) ``` Thus, in a perspective table, the contents of the table are shown ---

Hi, Do you mean that Wrapper.log can be view in Perspective? If yes can you provide more details ---

Wrapper.log\* yes it can. Reference this post below to get the ignition log directory dynamically, then you can read the log file in using system.file.readAsString (from memory) > [@List of bindings on a property](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/list-of-bindings-on-a-property/67345/8): > > This script will get you the file path to the Ignition projects directory: from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway import IgnitionGateway context = IgnitionGateway.get() projectParentFolder = str(context.systemManager.dataDir.absoluteFile).replace('\\','/') + '/projects/' From there, you should be able to traverse the structure to find your View and read its view.json file, interpret it as json with system.util.jsonDecode, and find your bindings. Note, this will only run in the gateway …
