# How to retrieve the Inspector 5 Logs

The Inspector logs are stored in the following location: C:\Users\User name\AppData\Local\Flyability\Inspector. These are helpful to share with Support when troubleshooting unexpected behavior.

### Quick log retrieval: 

**(1)** The most recent log can be quickly accessed by entering the following file path into a Windows file explorer window: %localappdata%\Flyability\Inspector

Once opened, save and share this file. Notepad can be used to open this file if not already selected.

**(3)** Only the `log_insp_2026-02-27_13-57-28-706.txt` files are needed. The most recent logs are the best ones to share after recreating the issue..

NOTE: The logs are now sorted in the *opposite* direction alphabetically, newest are at the end (if sorted alphabetically).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://knowledge.flyability.com/software/inspector/inspector-5/common-workflows/how-to-retrieve-the-inspector-5-logs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
