Log Window Panel¶
The Log Panel is used by the Sequoia system to report progress, error, statistics and debug messages to the user and the developers.
The Log Panel has only one Global Instance.
It is closed by default in the default startup layout.
Opening The Log Panel¶
To open the Log Panel global instance, select the Main Menu > Panels > LOG - Display Global Panel menu item.
The Log Panel will dock by default as a second tab next to the Task Manager Panel.
It can be docked anywhere else in the UI, or floated independently.
Setting The Log Level¶
The Log Level controls what kinds of information will be displayed in the Log Panel.
The Log Level defines a limit, allowing all lower levels to be included, for example the “Warnings” level also includes to lower “Errors” level.
By default, the Log Level will be set to “Stats”.
The current Log Level can be set via the checkbox items in the Options Menu .
The following Log Levels are available:

All Log Level message colors can be customized by editing the sequoia_colors.JSON file in the root folder of the application.
