Retrieve helmut4 container log

If these systems are not working as intended, it makes sense to check the individual logs of the dedicated module or linked trigger.

A good starting point is always the job and client logs to verify if the issue is local or on the server/container side.

To access the container logs, log in to Portainer at http://:9000 and navigate to the Helmut4 stack.

Expand the container you are looking for and click the small spreadsheet icon.

This will open a new window displaying the container's log. If necessary, you can expand the displayed lines until you find the desired log entry. When searching for a specific entry, you need to disable the auto-refresh toggle, as the log tends to jump to its end while searching.

A simple explanation of containers and their helmut4 endpoints:
