MyQ Log
In the MyQ server log, you can find information about all parts of the MyQ server: the MyQ server, MyQ Web UI, etc. Log messages are sorted into these types Critical, Error, Warning, Info, Notice, Debug, Trace and you can select the types that you want to be displayed.
You can also set the log to display only messages informing about specific MyQ subsystems, such as the Web UI, remote printer setup, user sessions on MyQ terminals, and also about a specific context, for example, direct printing or a specific printing device.
The log is updated in real time, but you can pause it by clicking Watch live, and filtering to show messages from a specific time period, such as yesterday, this week, last week, last X hours, last X weeks, etc.
