Download all debug logs from a Salesforce org

# This is a script by Thomas Gagné posted here:
# https://trailhead.salesforce.com/trailblazer-community/feed/0D54S00000A8irTSAR
# but modified to use the `sfdx` CLI tool instead
# of the `force` CLI tool.
# This assumes the user is logged in and the default
# org is set. If you're running this outside of a
# Salesforce DX project folder, just add the username
# (to specify which org to run this against) to both
# sfdx commands with `-u your.username@whatever.com`
# Original comments below:

# script for export ALL debug logs to a subdirectory
# named "log".  
#
# it requires the "force" CLI tool be available and
# assumes the user is already logged in.
#
# Sure, I could have added more debugging, like checking
# to see if the user was logged in, but I didn't have 
# all night. ;-)

for logId in $(sfdx force:data:soql:query -q "select id from apexlog" | tail -n +3); do
	echo "writing log/$logId.debug"
	sfdx force:apex:log:get --logid $logId > log/$logId.debug
done

How can i launch this in SFDX CLI ?

How can i launch this in SFDX CLI ?

@Hcision What do you mean? SFDX CLI is just a collection of commands, right? And one of those commands is that sfdx force:apex:log:get in there, for example.

What this piece of code is is a bash script. It's a loop that goes through the list of all the logs from your org and downloads each one to a file. It uses bash stuff to do this (for loop statement, tail and echo commands, redirection (>) and pipe (|) operators...).

---

The simplest way to run this is to just paste it into your Terminal/Command Prompt, where you usually execute your SFDX commands.

(Also, don't forget to read that first paragraph of the #comments.)

sorry i'm new in the ecosystem , i just launched a piece of code on anonymous and i want to extract records in a csv file that's all

Just curious as to why the use of tail -n +3 after the soql query?

@aviationfan If I remember correctly, there are some header lines so they are left out with that tail part so that you get only the logs

I do see some weird files that must have been those lines at the top. I am trying this with powershell since I am stuck on windows right now.

this is a very helpful script

Hi @roko-p ,

I am facing this below error while running the script in VS code CLI terminal. Please suggest what I am missing

Hi @kamal2231 ,

This looks like you are trying to run this in PowerShell, and this is a bash script, so try to search for how to run a bash script from Windows PowerShell (maybe this helps?)

I am getting:

line 1: sfdx: command not found

@prakharxagrawal you need to have the Salesforce CLI installed first: How to.

(You probably won't see sfdx in these docs any more, but sf instead, which is the new command replacing the old sfdx. I believe you will still get the sfdx command installed together with sf, but in case you don't you can just try replacing the sfdx in the script above with sf and everything should still work.)

Hi @roko-p, I Have SFDX installed on my system, I have tried running it on VS Code Terminal, Bash Terminal, Command Prompt, everywher. I get the same error, Additionally, I am able to run both SFDX Commands individually that are inside for loop.

Hi @roko-p, I modified this to batch script and it worked for me, Thanks again :), Here's my modified script
