Objective
This article shows you how to use the Workbench panel in the Twilio Console to see your recent error logs and alarms, and to reach your API credentials, without navigating away from the page you are building on.
Product
Twilio Console
Environment
Twilio Console
Procedure
- In the Twilio Console, select the Workbench tab at the bottom edge of the screen to open the panel.
- The panel opens on the Overview tab, which shows your API credentials along with shortcut links — Home, API keys, and Docs. Selecting Home or API keys moves the Console to that page and leaves the panel open; Docs opens Twilio's documentation in a new browser tab.
- Select the Debugger tab to see recent error logs for the account:
- Use the time-range control to choose the period you want to look at.
- Each row is one logged error. If there are none in the period, the list reads No logs found.
- Select the shortcut in the panel header to open the full Debugger page for a closer look.
- Select the Alarms tab to see your alarms:
- The default view lists recent alarm activity, or reads that no alarms were found if there is none.
- Select the Manage sub-tab to work with your alarm definitions; the header shortcut then reads Open manage alarms and takes you to the full page.
- Select the Overview tab to go back to your credentials and shortcuts.
Additional Information
- The panel's contents are for the account you currently have selected. Switch accounts and the logs and alarms refresh for the new account.
- The full versions of these pages are also reachable from the left sidebar: select Monitor, then Debugger, or Monitor, then Alerts, then Alarms.
