ColdFusion 2021 Log Files Links Disabled ???

[JFCarroll]

In our ColdFusion 2021 Administrator, the links to the Log File Names are disabled (not present, just text) and a number of Actions icons are missing (see attached screen shot for examples).   The log files are present on the server, I can navigate to and open them, they are logging current activities.   This is happening on both our servers (one development, one production).

Question:

• Why do I not have links to the server log files like application.log?
• How do I get the links back?

Our ColdFusion 2021 servers run on cloud based Windows 2019 server boxes.

I am guessing the ColdFusion 2018 change is also applicable to ColdFusion 2021.  My experience has mostly been with ColdFusion 2016 and before.

Hello JFC,

Update 5 removed CFadmin logs parts as per notice:

Other changes

LOG FILES PAGE IN COLDFUSION ADMINISTRATOR

In the list of log files, the buttons to View, Download, and Delete a log file have been removed. Also, the log files are no longer clickable.

HTH, Carl.

It was indeed an intentional removal by Adobe in the Oct 2022 updates to cf2021 and cf2018. And yes, at your own risk you can get it back. See my post :
