The Activity Log is a full timestamped record of everything SignalCaster does during a session. Every connection attempt, every handshake step, every reconnect, every metadata update, every error — it all goes into the log with millisecond-precision timestamps. When something doesn’t work as expected, the Activity Log is your first stop.
Open the Settings drawer and click Activity… at the bottom of the settings list. The drawer switches to the Activity view, showing the log in a scrollable monospace text area.
Each line starts with a timestamp in [HH:MM:SS.mmm] format, followed by the message. The log is written sequentially, so reading from top to bottom gives you a chronological picture of what happened. Common entries include:
The Activity drawer auto-scrolls to the bottom as new entries arrive, so you can watch the log in real time while streaming. If you scroll up to read earlier entries, auto-scroll pauses so you don’t lose your place. Press Space to toggle auto-scroll on and off — a brief indicator label appears when you do. Auto-scroll resumes automatically when you click Back to Settings and reopen the Activity drawer.
Click Copy in the bottom-right of the Activity drawer to copy the entire log text to the clipboard. The button shows a brief "Copied to clipboard" confirmation. Paste the log into an email or support ticket when you need help diagnosing an issue — the full log is far more useful than a description of what happened.
The log is capped at 5,000 lines per session. On very long streams with high reconnect activity, older entries are dropped from the top as new ones arrive at the bottom. If you’re diagnosing a specific issue, copy the log soon after it occurs rather than waiting until end of session.
The very first line of the log is a session header with the date, time, and timezone of when SignalCaster launched. This makes it easy to identify which run a log extract belongs to if you’re comparing multiple sessions.
