Logging and debugging

Sometimes, things don’t go as expected. As a developer, logs are a great way to figure out why things aren’t running as expected. That’s why the extension provides the ability to enable logging. You can turn logging on by navigating to Stores > Configuration > Algolia Search > Credentials & Setup.

Don’t turn logging on in production. It can create large volumes of data and exhaust your server resources quickly. You should only enable logging during development to debug certain processes.

With logging enabled, the extension creates info type logs. By default, Magento writes info type logs to the following files:

var/log/system.log
var/log/debug.log

Starting with version 3.15 of the Magento integration, Algolia writes non-critical messages to a separate log file:

var/log/algolia.log

The logs capture information about the following events:

Full reindex of products
Rebuilding a page of products
Loading products’ collection
Indexing of a single product
Indexing of a collection of products
Beginning and ending of sending data to Algolia
Beginning and ending of removing data from Algolia
Beginning and ending of emulation
Image loading exceptions that are thrown
Miscellaneous errors and exceptions
