Hi guys, where does Deadline write task logs? I know worker logs are written in C:\ProgramData\Thinkbox\Deadline[VERSION]\logs, but where does the task logs write to? I want to do a real time polling of the logs and display it in a custom UI.
I’m a bit vague on this, but reports are stored here:
<SERVER>/repository/reports
But as you’ll see, that might not be the easiest structure to scrape data from. I’ve never used this part of the API, but it looks like the Deadline.Reports module might be helpful:

Thanks for the link but I am not sure how to use the Reports module. Can you share a small snippet?
The Reports module is more helpful once you’ve gotten a ‘Report’ object and want to pull information out of it.
If you’re looking for an example of pulling the contents of logs, this is a script I’ve used to pull data about Arnold license failure across a whole farm. So it pulls every file. But it’ll work as a jumping off point for you.
