You don't need an extra tool to view the log. It's a .txt file, so should be able to view the log file with any text editor.
The error message "The request does not meet the security criteria." indicates that you have been logged out in the meantime. Have you already tried a hard refresh in your web browser?Â

Arthur, thanks for the answer. I tried a couple of time. The steps are:
- login into quantconnect.com and run a backtest.
- when the backtest is done, copy and past the log link from the console to the same browser window. I always got the same error.
I use Chrome. What do you mean by "hard refresh"? Is it related to any browser setting? ÂJared Broad
Hi Tiny,Â
Backtest logs are secure links, you must be the authenticated user to access the logs.Â
If this isn't the case for you and you're simply clicking the link in the console and it's not working please send an email to support@quantconnect.com with details of your browser and setup.
