Logs combines server and browser diagnostic output. Use it after reproducing one small problem so the title, source, destination, and time are easy to match with a Sync Activity row.
Log categories
Use the category tabs to narrow the stream:
- All Logs shows the complete chronological stream.
- Plex WebSockets shows connection lifecycle and incoming Plex timeline events.
- Outbound Sync shows dispatches, watch writes, and manual propagation.
- Scheduled Polls shows periodic catch-up and scheduled sync work.
- System Logs shows administrative, startup, and general system events.
Review a problem
- Reproduce one small problem.
- Open Logs and select the relevant category.
- Compare the error with the Sync Activity reason.
- Download or preserve the relevant log before clearing it.
Clear Logs empties the stored diagnostic log stream. On-disk crash-forensics copies are separate and are pruned automatically. Redact webhook URLs, credentials, and private server names before sharing logs.
