  • The Logs with issues option will, when enabled, show only logs that have warnings or missing files.

Alerts

  • or you are using CAST Extend local server in offline mode
  • or you are using an older release of CAST Extend local server which does not support this feature (≥ 1.1.1-funcrel is required).

Generic log messages for warnings, errors and syntax errors are displayed as well as specific messages with IDs:

You can also switch to detailed view if you would like to see more information:
