Overview

OP Log Viewer is a utility module that allows users to monitor Odoo server logs directly from the Odoo interface. The module provides a live log monitoring system through a navbar menu, enabling authorized users to view real-time Odoo logs without requiring terminal or server access. The log viewer continuously reads the configured log file and displays the latest log entries in a terminal-style popup interface inside Odoo.

This simplifies debugging, troubleshooting, and server monitoring by making log information accessible directly within the Odoo web client.

Access Rights Configuration

Access to the OP Log Viewer module is controlled using a dedicated security group. Only authorized users can access and view server log content.

Note: The access rights group is visible only when Developer Mode is enabled.

How It Works

1. Access Rights Configuration

Assign the Log Viewer Access group to users who should be allowed to access the live log viewer.

2. Configure Log File Path

Navigate to General Settings and configure the absolute path of the Odoo log file that will be monitored by the module.

3. Navbar Logs Menu

Once configured, authorized users can access the Logs menu from the Odoo navbar for quick access to live log monitoring.

4. Live Log Viewer

The terminal-style popup continuously displays the latest Odoo log entries and automatically refreshes to show new log activity in real time.

5. Log Path Not Configured

If the log file path has not been configured, the module displays a warning message instructing administrators to configure the log file location before using the viewer.
