🚀 Key Features

• 🔥 See where the time went - An interactive flame chart of the whole transaction, with a minimap for navigating massive logs.
• 🌲 Follow the execution - The full call tree in time order, aggregated, or bottom-up, with timing, row counts and DML/SOQL metrics.
• 🚦 At a glance header - A "Log problems" chip and Notifications bell summarize issues, and chips show the debug levels the log was captured with.
• 🧭 Inspect anything - Select any frame or statement and the dockable inspector shows its vitals, call stack and its own call tree.
• 🗄️ Find the slow SOQL, DML and SOSL - Every statement with its timing, row counts and selectivity, so the expensive ones stand out.
• 📊 Stay inside governor limits - Usage against the limit for every governor, and where in the transaction you consumed it.
• 🧠 Understand heap - Net, gross and peak per method, so allocate-then-free churn no longer looks like a leak.
• 📈 Find the hot Apex - Group by method or namespace to see what actually costs you time.
• 🔍 Search the whole log - One search across the flame chart, call tree and database tables.
• 📄 Jump to the raw log - Move between the analysis and the log file itself, in both directions.
• 🤖 Ask an AI about a log - An MCP server so your assistant can analyze logs with you.
• 🧠 Filter to what matters - Narrow any grid by namespace, object or type, or to a value range.

✨ Works with any .log Salesforce debug log file.

⚡ How It Works

Start Analysis

You can analyze logs in two ways:

1. Analyze an Open Log File

• Open a .log file in VS Code.
• Run Log: Show Apex Log Analysis via:
  • Command Palette (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P)
  • Top-of-file code lens
  • Right-click menu
  • Editor toolbar button

2. Download a Log from Your Org

Use Log: Retrieve Apex Log And Show Analysis from the Command Palette.

⚙️ Recommended Debug Log Levels

• Set APEX_CODE level to FINE or higher - lower levels may omit important execution details.
• Be aware that higher debug levels introduce logging overhead, which can inflate recorded execution times.
• Avoid truncated logs - they can result in incomplete or misleading analysis.
• Recommended settings for a good balance of detail and performance: APEX_CODE,FINE; APEX_PROFILING,FINE; CALLOUT,INFO; DB,FINEST; NBA,INFO; SYSTEM,DEBUG; VALIDATION,INFO; VISUALFORCE,FINE; WAVE,INFO; WORKFLOW,FINE

🚦 Header

The bar above the tabs summarizes the log at a glance:

• Log problems - A chip for problems found in the log itself (governor limit exceptions, fatal errors, skipped lines), with a count badge; click it for the full breakdown.
• Notifications - A separate bell for messages about the tool rather than the log, kept apart from log problems so the two don't read as one severity count.
• Log info - Entry point, user, and start time; hover for full details.
• Debug levels - Chips showing the debug levels the log was captured with, one per category. Read-only display, not a filter.
• ••• menu - Help, report an issue, and whatever the header sheds as the window narrows.
