The log is your stream server's technical diary: the latest lines it wrote down, the newest at the bottom. You find it under Instellingen & opgave → Logboek; the page is called Logboek van de stream.
What you use it for
Two questions that otherwise become a support request:
- "My DJ can't get in." This shows when a DJ or another source connected, and why a connection was refused.
- "The stream dropped for a moment." If there's an error or warning around that time, you already know where to look.
It is a technical list, meant for checking something. What your station considers important, it reports at the top of the Stream-overzicht in plain language; the log is the raw material underneath.
What you see
At the top it says how many lines there are. With Aantal regels you choose 100, 200, 500 or 2000; the default is 200. More lines means looking further back, but also more scrolling. Vernieuwen (refresh) fetches the newest.
The colours say how serious a line is:
- Red — an error (
ERROR). - Orange — a warning (
WARN). - Grey — ordinary information.
A warning isn't necessarily bad; it's repetition that stands out. An error is something to look into.
What you can't read from the screen
There are no listener addresses in it. The station leaves them out, and our platform also removes any IPv4 address that might still turn up: you then see [adres]. So you can't check here who was listening. For the number of listeners you have Statistieken.
The log is not an archive. It shows the latest lines, at most 2000, not everything since the start. If you're looking for something that happened a while ago, it may no longer be in there.
Nothing there? Then your station hasn't run yet, or it has just started. As soon as a source connects or something goes wrong, it appears here.
A message that the log can't be fetched means your station's server didn't answer at that moment. That's a sign something is up with the station itself; also look at the Stream-overzicht, and at the status page to see whether there's an outage.
If you can't work it out
Copy the lines around the time of the problem and send them with your question to support, together with the time. That saves a round of questions.
