Log file submission - what's included and what's not

Editions: Daedalus, Daedalus Rewards

Security

Submitting log files is safe, there are no secrets and no personal information in the log files. 

Included in the Log file submission

When you generate a log file from Daedalus here is what is included in the resulting .zip file. 

1. Only latest 3 node.json logs are included. 
2. Only the latest 3 launcher logs are included
3. System Info file
4. Daedalus log file

Included in the Pub folder submission

The name of the Pub folder stands for Public, all the information in this folder is safe to send via email which is an insecure communications channel unless the email is encrypted.

Here is what's in the Pub folder: (this list may change as versions change, not everyone is on the same release so things may vary slightly) 

1. System-info.json
2. Daedalus.json
3. Daedalus.old.json
4. Daedalus.json.log
5. Daedalus.json.old.log
6. Daedalus.log
7. Daedalus.old.log
8. launcher
9. launcher-20190320130437
10. There are usually many of these Launcher- log files with different timestamps
11. node.json
12. node.json-20190604041741
13. There are usually many of these node.jason log files with different timestamps

The difference between the Pub folder and the Log file submission

As you can see in the above descriptions of the Log file Submission and the Pub folder there is more information in the Pub folder. We do not usually request it for support purposes because the maximum file size for our support system is 20Mb and the Pub folder is often bigger than this. 

Reading the System Info file.

The easiest way to read the System Info file is: 

1. Go to https://jqplay.org/ and paste the contents of the System-info.json file into the JSON field.
2. Select Raw Output
3. Paste the fiollowing text (including ") into the Filter field

"\(.at)\ncardano version:\(.data.cardanoVersion)\ndaedalus version:\(.data.daedalusVersion)\nplatform version: \(.data.platformVersion)\nram: \((.data.ram | tonumber)/1024/1024/1024)gig\nnetwork: \(.data.network)\nos: \(.data.osName)"

You should see something like the following result.
