Hi,
My project is big and the core step output a great lot logs, every time I look at the log the browser will be blocked..so I want to download the step's logs and use editor to view.

Can I do that?

Hi,

You can change the pagination on the step log page so that it shows only a certain amount of the log lines. The other thing you can do on the step log page is to select/unselect the types of log statements (ENV, etc.). However, for your question - one option is to create a script using the services layer API to get the logs from the result records for a build.

Thanks for your suggestion. I think it's better to have the feature to let user download the logs for issue tracking.
Could you guide me where I can find the services layer API.

You can retrieve the services layer clients by going to http://:/clients . You can select to download the Perl or Java client. I've attached some sample code for Java.

import com.buildforge.services.client.dbo.Build;
