About
The Debug module is a tool used to manage and configure logging for your video portal (KMS) site. It helps identify and resolve bugs or defects by recording event logs and messages, ensuring proper system operation and preventing incorrect behavior in areas like streaming, analytics, or player functionality.
The Debug feature also supports recording logs and debug messages on remote devices, such as the Kaltura SaaS server or an On-Premises server. These logs capture detailed information for troubleshooting.
Logs on the Kaltura SaaS server are accessible only to Kaltura's Level 3 Support and Development teams.
