No logs in 4.0.2

Are you in a web app or IIS?
Look at the system logs and see if there’s any more detail in those errors.

If you’re in IIS you’ll be able to find it in the install or programdata path somewhere, otherwise if you’re like me on a web app, you can set the env var SystemLogPath to a path on your fileshare mount like /Data/Logs/systemlog.txt

I use the MSI, no IIS on this site.

I have SystemLogPath specified in appsettings.json
“SystemLogPath”: “%ProgramData%\PowerShellUniversal\systemLog.txt”,

in here I can see the Enpoint being executed, just like I normally would in the API’s log tab

The rest of the Errors in the log is the same as the System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key 'CONNECT one every minute or so

We have some pretty rough error handling around endpoints and that’s what is causing all these errors you are seeing.

For example, if an HTTP request comes in with an HTTP method of connect, it attempts to find that in the API endpoints and then throws this error because the CONNECT method does not exist in the array of endpoint methods.

       foreach (var endpoint in _endpoints[method.ToUpper()].Values)
            {
                Dictionary<string, string> variables = new Dictionary<string, string>();

We can fix that but I’m not sure that has anything to do with the logging.

As for the Object Ref you are seeing when creating new targets, that will be resolved in 4.0.3. That said, creating a new target shouldn’t change how the API logging stuff is exposed.

Log messages for endpoints are stored by endpoint ID in the database. Are you using SQL or LiteDB? I’d be interested in what is currently in the logging table\collection in your environment and whether this is a problem of writing the log messages or reading them.

We have the same problem. One of our two servers has no logging targets at all. Adding does not work or errors occur anyway

One of two server is missing default logging targets - PowerShell Universal - Ironman Software Forums

MS SQL

I’d be interested in what is currently in the logging table\collection in your environment and whether this is a problem of writing the log messages or reading them.

Where would I find that?

Still having no logs in 4.0.10 @Adam Driscoll
I managed to add a few log targets - not easy to do since the documentation link points to a non existing page.




The file one does generate lines in the file in its path, but any and all log tabs throughout PSU remain blank

since 4.1.0 i get this when restarting PSU, and editing logging targets, I don’t have much luck finding where that string is configured.
