Where are the logs in Polyscope X?

Where can I see logs in Polyscope X, e.g.

textmsg("Hello, World!")

It is stated in the URScript manual for PolyScope X:
The PolyScope log-tab is intended for general application status.

However, I couldn’t find this tab.

I continue peeling the onion.


all of them are empty

# ls -la /tmp/log/urcontrol/interpreter.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 55 Feb 24 16:33 /tmp/log/urcontrol/interpreter.0.log

# ps aux | grep urcontrol

Here is also nothing interesting

# journalctl -fu urcontrol

Hello @andrei.kholodnyi

you can find the log messages can be found under Application > System Info > Log Messages.
This is being described in the correspondent part of the PolyScope X SW Manual

See the following screen shot as reference:

This message will then be part of the log_history.txt file in case you export the overall logfiles.

Let me know in case you need further insights!

Thank you, found it!
Is it a way to retrieve logs remotely without storing them to the log_history.txt file via GUI.
