Under Settings > Output Settings, I've tried setting the character limit to above 2000 but it won't save. Is it possible to set this higher? This seems like quite a small limit to me, as I'd prefer unlimited character length.

Moving to Feature requests.

So the checkbox in the UI to remove the limit is non-functional?

This settings previously referred to the output that was available for the Task output. Now, for the last run, the output is unlimited. You can always write the full output through Variables or read the full output in the Output window.

However, a couple of versions ago we added database logging. For historic output the cap is 2000 characters. This cannot be changed right now. This was set for performance only as output is stored to file->read by server->sent to client. Also, as this feature, "database logging", is quite new we wanted to see all performance impacts before we increase the value.

But if you want to store full ouput you can do this now. You can choose to store it on database or file, depending on Task you choose, only difference is that you cannot view more than 2000 characters in the Task history.

Are you saying the full output from previous tasks are stored in the database? If so, how do I access it?

My scripts run multiple times a day so seeing the data for the 'last run' is insufficient. I need to be able to look at logs from earlier in the day and see the full output of the task.

No, full output is only available for the last Task. That is why I moved this topic to Feature requests. But as I mentioned, you could easily create your own table or file in any database or location and log the full output yourself.

The full output of a Task is always stored here:

{TASK(Active,StdOut)}
{TASK(PrevTask,StdOut)}
{TASK(LastTask,StdOut)}
{TASK(Any Task Id you want,StdOut)}

Any chance full output storage is going to be added to a future release?

Henrik,

This came as a surprise to me. When I first looked at VisualCron, I checked the task output window and recall seeing limited data but there was a check box to show all the data. Is my memory correct?

Is the full output stored in the database or truncated there?

I really would like to be able to see the full output from a task.

We have done necessary changes to support saving more data in database (which was previously limited). Now we just need enable the same limitation (so you can set it yourself). Hopefully we will do that soon.

Has this change made it to the latest release?

This has now been fixed in version 7.0.0. release.
