In section Logs you can change the log level. Refer to Changing the Log Level of a Workload for detailed information.

The link in section Logs gives you direct access to the Log Analyzer, where you can inspect the logs. Refer to Showing Workload Logs and Analyzing Platform Logs for further information.

For some service types, the log level cannot be changed but the displayed link still allows you to inspect the logs.

Configuration

In the Kubernetes setup, it is currently not possible to modify configuration files in the Configuration section except for containerized xUML services and services of type pas-nestjs (see below).

  • For services of type pas-nestjs (= internal services of the PAS platform) developers can define a service-specific schema and documentation.
    • If a schema is available, the display in section Configuration will change and show the defined configuration options.Go to page Adapting Workload Configuration for detailed information.
    • If no schema is available, a JSON editor is displayed in section Configuration.
