Log Center
VS Code and SFCC LSP log analysis workspace for grouped issues, diagnostics, and source navigation
Log Center is the VS Code log-analysis workspace backed by the SFCC LSP and extension indexes. It parses local or streamed SFCC logs, groups repeated runtime errors into ranked issues, and connects those issues back to source files, diagnostics, and MCP-assisted fix workflows.
Log Center is available for VS Code and the SFCC LSP/MCP diagnostics flow. It is not a JetBrains panel or JetBrains feature page.
Entry Points
- Open a
.logfile in VS Code to use the lightweight Log Center editor. - Start Logs Streaming and open a streamed file in Log Center.
- Use Log Center MCP diagnostics to search logs, inspect an issue, collect source context, and mark the issue fixed after validation.
- Open a generated log report when you need a shareable summary of grouped errors.
What It Shows
| Area | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Severity filters | Focus errors, warnings, info, debug, or mixed severity ranges. |
| Histogram | Show volume spikes across the selected log window. |
| Grouped issues | Compact repeated stack traces and messages into ranked issue rows. |
| Occurrence count | Show how often a matched issue appeared in the selected logs. |
| Stack trace preview | Inspect the key frame before opening the source file. |
| Source navigation | Jump from parsed frames to the local cartridge file when the project index can resolve it. |
SFCC LSP Diagnostics Flow
The VS Code MCP workflow uses Log Center as a source of runtime evidence:
Search Log Center
Query recent logs with the active connection and severity filters.
Inspect issue details
Open the grouped issue to see representative occurrences, stack frames, and matched source paths.
Collect source context
Use the SFCC LSP indexes to resolve related controllers, scripts, templates, hooks, routes, or cartridges.
Fix and validate
Apply the code change, run the relevant validation, then mark the issue fixed only after evidence exists.
