Viewing tool logs (`stdout` and `stderr`)


Most tools create log files as output, which can contain useful information about how the tool ran (stdout, or standard output), and what went wrong (stderr, or standard error).

To view these log files in Galaxy:

  • Expand one of the outputs of the tool in your history
  • Click on View details details
  • Scroll to the Job Information section
    • Here you will find links to the log files (stdout and stderr).
