Best way to cleanup logging

[javis]

Hi all,

I'm working on cleaning up our logs. It has come to the point where there are too many unused logging and we have to find the source of all those logs. Does anyone know a fast and efficient way to find where the source of these logs come from? Currently I do not have enough info on in the logs to pin-point exactly where the logs are.

Thanks in advance!

Hi James,

I'm going to assume you are looking for scripts that use gs.log() statements. Finding the logs themselves is pretty easy under the System Logs application menu.

I invite you to do a global code search using Studio's code search feature and look for gs.log() statements.

Thanks, Chuck!

Playing around with Code Search makes it easier to find where log statement are in the system! This will definitely make my job easier!

Pradeep,

Do you know a faster way to find where a reference of a field can be found throughout the system? I am trying to find every reference of a custom field in the system. Whether it is referenced in a script include, BR, Client scrit, Ui action etc. Does ServiceNow make that easier for us?
