Get log

Description

Allows access to a log file by name by making it temporarily accessible via the Red5 Pro web server. A temporary path is generated to enable the download. You can download the file by using the server address, the path provided in the response, and the filename. After a limited time, the file is removed and the temporary path is deleted (for security).

REQUEST

• URI:

http://{host}:{port}/api/v1/log/{logfilename}?accessToken=<accessToken>

• Method: GET
• Parameters:

RESPONSE

• Failure: HTTP CODE 400 or 404
• Data :

    {
      "errorMessage": "<error-message-string>",
      "timestamp": <error-timestamp>
    }

• Success: HTTP CODE 200 - OK
• Data: Returns a DownloadableLogFile json object. See Response objects for attribute definition.
• Data:

{
"status": "success",
"code": 200,
"data": {
"path": "<temporary-path-to-log>",
  "comment": "This download will expire in 60 seconds.",
  "name": "<logfilename>",
  "lastModified": <lastmodified>,
  "size": <size-in-bytes>
},
"timestamp": 1515766780094
}

The log file can then be downloaded using the url: http(s)://{host}:{port}/{temporary-path-to-log}/{logfilename} The download is auto expired and removed after a set limit by the logAccessManager.
