Splunk

TestFairy can integrate with Splunk to provide better insights into your mobile apps. This document explains how to export the app logs from TestFairy and import them into your Splunk installation.

Exporting Logs​

Use the TestFairy Fetch Session Tool tool to download log files for a specific project.

npm install -g --link git+https://github.com/testfairy/testfairy-fetch-sessions.git

testfairy-fetch-sessions --endpoint "acme.testfairy.com" --user "john@example.com" --api-key "0123456789abcdef" --project-id=1000 --logs

The logs are downloaded to a folder named testfairy-sessions with a directory structure as follows.
