Regularly scanning case logs in Intella is an important part of troubleshooting and maintaining system health. The log files contain valuable diagnostic information about case processing, crawled data, system events, and any errors encountered. By proactively scanning logs, issues can be identified early before they escalate or cause significant problems. Intella provides built-in tools to simplify the process of scanning logs and detecting common errors or warnings.
This article will provide step-by-step instructions on how to use these log scanning features in both the Intella desktop application and the Intella Connect/Investigator web interface. Learning how to properly scan logs can help administrators pinpoint problems, understand what went wrong, and take corrective actions.
