I'm using unlimited edition of Salesforce. I would like to enable debug logs for a user for a particular period of time. Currently Salesforce is only enablling a maximum period of 24 hours to enable debug logs. Once the 24 hours is over, I need to enable logs again. Is there any way to accomplish this (Enabling log for more than 24 hours)?
In an out of the box thinking, Is there a way to enable debug logs with Apex code? So that I can run a batch job every day so as to enable logs.
You will need to automate the creation of the TraceFlag record for the user in question. This could be done either via Apex calling the Tooling API, or via an external process.
TraceFlag records are what the Developer Console and the Debug Logs pages create to cause the debug logs to be captured.
TracedEntityId to the UserId you want to get debug logs for.LogType to "USER_DEBUG"ExpirationDate to some point in the next 24 hours.DebugLevelId to the ID of a DebugLevelIf in doubt, perform the action manually via the UI and observe the changes to the TraceFlag records. You can SOQL for these in the Developer Console if you enable the Tooling API.
