- Heroku system and add-on logs:
Upon release, the USKPA site utilizes Papertrail add-on at the Choklad tier.
At the time of this writing, this service tier provides the following log retention:
| Log volume per day | Search duration | Archive duration |
|---|---|---|
| 10 MB | 2 Days | 7 Days |
Logs may be exported from Papertrail if separate archival is desired. The service tier may also be upgraded to increase the archive duration to 365 days.
As an authenticated administrator of the USKPA site, Papertrail may be accessed via the Heroku application dashboard.
Papertrail Alerts have been configured to notify site administrators upon the detection of an ERROR log message produced by the application.
At release time, the logs are scanned every 10 minutes for new errors.
This alert is accessible and configurable via the alerts tab within Papertrail.
