Viewing Log Files

Important

Test Base for Microsoft 365 will transition to end-of-life (EOL) on May 31, 2024. We're committed to working closely with each customer to provide support and guidance to make the transition as smooth as possible. If you have any questions, concerns, or need assistance, submit a support request.

You can download public facing log files separately as an aid to troubleshooting script failures, regressions, reliability issues, or other unexpected results. Each test run that completes successfully should generate a collection of logs and data files that include .log, .etl, .csv, and .evtx files that are distributed in the following categories:

  • Script installation and status logs
  • Stderr & Stdout data
  • Performance counter logs
  • Exit codes
  • System info
  • Windows Performance Recorder (WPR)-generated traces
  • CPU and memory usage data
  • Event logs

To view such logs and/or data files, do the following:

  • Click the Log files: Download link in the upper-left sector of the test results UI shown in the previous figure for a specified release.
  • Click Download in the Log File Download pane that displays.
  • Click Open file in the Downloads pane in the right-hand sector of the UI to open the logs.zip file containing all the log data output generated by test execution.

Also, if you click Security update results or Feature update results in the Insights category on the left-hand side menu in the UI, you will see a Download link in the Log files column for both Functional test and Out of box test. Click either link to view the logs for either category of tests.
