LogViewer
The Log Viewer component within the XCore Portal is designed to manage, categorize, and present logs from different areas and functionalities of the platform. These logs offer a comprehensive overview of all recorded system events, serving as a valuable tool for troubleshooting, price investigations, and trade investigations. Each log folder within the component provides detailed insights, making it easier for users to monitor, troubleshoot, and understand the system’s operations and activities. The logs are organized and broken down into specific categories, making it easier for users to navigate and find relevant information.
