Log files - bobbyiliev/dbeaver GitHub Wiki

There is an Error Log view (main menu Window->Show View->Error Log) which contains all errors which occur during the DBeaver runtime.
You can double click on the warning/error in the log viewer and see the error stacktrace. Please attach it to the bug report.
Also, you can open the full log (all error messages) if you need:

DBeaver writes different log files. Most of them are Eclipse logs.
Log files usually reside in the workspace/workspace6/.metadata .

• In Windows open Explorer and paste path %APPDATA%\DBeaverData\workspace6\.metadata.
• In Linux just type cd $XDG_DATA_HOME/DBeaverData/workspace6/.metadata
• In MacOS open path ~/Library/DBeaverData/workspace6/.metadata in Finder.
  • To view hidden folders press Cmd+Shift+. in the folder view.

Two standard log files:

• workspace/workspace6/.metadata/.log - all warnings and errors which happen during normal work
• workspace/workspace6/.metadata/dbeaver-debug.log - the same as .log plus debug information

In special cases log files can be written in other directories. A special case is an emergency situation when DBeaver cannot start and there is no workspace. Two typical places to find emergency logs:

• <install-path>/configuration
• ${HOME}/.eclipse/org.jkiss.dbeaver.product_<dbeaver-version>

If you are reporting an error, please attach the applicable part of the log - not the complete file.
Logs are very useful. Many errors cannot be reproduced and fixed without a full error stacktrace (all the details).

On the rare occasion that the DBeaver process dies, it does not leave any valuable logs. This is caused by a Java VM crash.
JVM creates a fatal log file for each crash (log gile hs_err_PID.log). This log usually resides in the same directory where the DBeaver launcher is (e.g. dbeaver.exe).
But in some cases it is a write-protected directory and the log file will be created in other folder.
Instructions on how to find the Java fatal log file: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/troubleshoot/fatal-error-log.htm

Log files usually reside in the workspace/team-workspace/.metadata .

• In Windows open Explorer and paste path %APPDATA%\DBeaverData\team-workspace\.metadata.
• In Linux just type cd $XDG_DATA_HOME/DBeaverData/team-workspace/.metadata
• In MacOS open path ~/Library/DBeaverData/team-workspace/.metadata in Finder.
  • To view hidden folders press Cmd+Shift+. in the folder view.
