Shopify GraphQL API log auditing lets users troubleshoot failed or partially failed mutations. Complete transparency into API logs helps to easily debug the problem without any external support. + +Auditing integrations are usually not user accessible, so every time when an operation fails, developer intervention is required. Manually auditing communication between systems is also a resource and time intensive process, often taking upwards of 6 hours. When multiple systems are mutating the same object in Shopify pinpointing exact error pathways becomes an added challenge for developers. + +Shopify GraphQL API log auditing will allow users to gain full visibility into why certain operations may be failing and even search through extensive logs by keywords and specific IDs. Users can view API audit logs and instantly identify failed records without the need to contact HotWax support. User accessible audit logs will also ensure quick corrective actions. + +Merchants using HotWax Commerce will already receive the feature to audit GraphQL API logs. Merchants will need to go to the MDM page and select Shopify GraphQL Job from the Shopify jobs section. + +*Internal quote* + +*Customer quote*
