Retrieve an Index Job Log

Use the get index job log operation to retrieve the log output for an index build job.

The operation returns the detailed log file contents for diagnosing index creation issues or monitoring progress.

• Python
• Curl

See the following for examples of how to implement get_index_job_log:

from oracle_vecdb import OracleVecDB, Configuration

client = OracleVecDB(Configuration(
    rest_url="https://<host>/ords/<schema>/_/db-api/stable/vecdb/",
    # or username="<user>", password="<pass>"
    access_token="<bearer-token>",
))

#create an index to initiate a load job
response = client.create_index(table_name='products')

#retrieve the log output
log_output = client.get_index_job_log(response.job_name)
print(log_output)

A JSON response is returned containing log file metadata and contents.

For more information about the get_index_job_log operation, see Python API Reference.
