Salesforce Debug Bundle

Overview

Collect all necessary diagnostic information for Salesforce issues: debug logs, API limits, org configuration, and error traces.

Prerequisites

Salesforce CLI authenticated (sf org login web)
jsforce connection configured
Access to Setup in your Salesforce org

Instructions

Step 1: Collect Org Info & API Limits

import { getConnection } from './salesforce/connection';

const conn = await getConnection();

// Org limits — most critical diagnostic info
const limits = await conn.request('/services/data/v59.0/limits/');
console.log('=== API Limits ===');
console.log(`Daily API Requests: ${limits.DailyApiRequests.Remaining}/${limits.DailyApiRequests.Max}`);
console.log(`Daily Bulk API: ${limits.DailyBulkV2QueryJobs.Remaining}/${limits.DailyBulkV2QueryJobs.Max}`);
console.log(`Data Storage (MB): ${limits.DataStorageMB.Remaining}/${limits.DataStorageMB.Max}`);
console.log(`File Storage (MB): ${limits.FileStorageMB.Remaining}/${limits.FileStorageMB.Max}`);
console.log(`Single Email: ${limits.SingleEmail.Remaining}/${limits.SingleEmail.Max}`);

// Org identity
const identity = await conn.identity();
console.log(`\n=== Org Info ===`);
console.log(`Username: ${identity.username}`);
console.log(`Org ID: ${identity.organization_id}`);
console.log(`Instance: ${conn.instanceUrl}`);
console.log(`API Version: ${conn.version}`);

Step 2: Enable & Retrieve Debug Logs

# Set up a trace flag for debug logging via SF CLI
sf apex log list --target-org my-org

# Get the most recent debug log
sf apex log get --number 1 --target-org my-org

# Or tail logs in real-time during testing
sf apex log tail --target-org my-org --debug-level SFDC_DevConsole

Step 3: Query Recent API Events

// EventLogFile — Enterprise+ orgs only
// Contains API usage data for the last 30 days
const eventLogs = await conn.query(`
  SELECT Id, EventType, LogDate, LogFileLength
  FROM EventLogFile
  WHERE EventType = 'API'
    AND LogDate >= LAST_N_DAYS:7
  ORDER BY LogDate DESC
  LIMIT 5
`);

for (const log of eventLogs.records) {
  console.log(`Event: ${log.EventType}, Date: ${log.LogDate}, Size: ${log.LogFileLength}`);
  // Download log content
  const content = await conn.request(`/services/data/v59.0/sobjects/EventLogFile/${log.Id}/LogFile`);
  console.log(content);
}

Step 4: Create Debug Bundle Script

#!/bin/bash
# salesforce-debug-bundle.sh
BUNDLE_DIR="sf-debug-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
mkdir -p "$BUNDLE_DIR"

echo "=== Salesforce Debug Bundle ===" > "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
echo "Generated: $(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"

# Org info
sf org display --target-org my-org --json > "$BUNDLE_DIR/org-info.json" 2>&1

# API limits
sf limits api display --target-org my-org --json > "$BUNDLE_DIR/api-limits.json" 2>&1

# Recent debug logs
sf apex log list --target-org my-org --json > "$BUNDLE_DIR/log-list.json" 2>&1
sf apex log get --number 5 --target-org my-org > "$BUNDLE_DIR/debug-logs.txt" 2>&1

# Node environment
echo "--- Node Environment ---" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
node --version >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt" 2>&1
npm list jsforce 2>/dev/null >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"

# Salesforce system status
curl -s "https://api.status.salesforce.com/v1/instances/$(sf org display --target-org my-org --json | jq -r '.result.instanceUrl' | sed 's|https://||;s|\..*||')/status" > "$BUNDLE_DIR/sf-status.json" 2>&1

# Redact secrets from .env
if [ -f .env ]; then
  cat .env | sed 's/=.*/=***REDACTED***/' > "$BUNDLE_DIR/config-redacted.txt"
fi

# Package
tar -czf "$BUNDLE_DIR.tar.gz" "$BUNDLE_DIR"
echo "Bundle created: $BUNDLE_DIR.tar.gz"

Step 5: Check Salesforce System Status

// Check if Salesforce itself is having issues
const statusResponse = await fetch('https://api.status.salesforce.com/v1/incidents/active');
const incidents = await statusResponse.json();

if (incidents.length > 0) {
  console.log('ACTIVE SALESFORCE INCIDENTS:');
  for (const incident of incidents) {
    console.log(`  ${incident.id}: ${incident.message.maintenanceType}`);
    console.log(`    Affected: ${incident.instanceKeys.join(', ')}`);
  }
} else {
  console.log('No active Salesforce incidents — issue is likely org-specific');
}

Output

sf-debug-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.tar.gz archive containing:
- summary.txt — Environment and SDK versions
- org-info.json — Org identity and configuration
- api-limits.json — Current API usage vs limits
- debug-logs.txt — Recent Apex debug logs
- sf-status.json — Salesforce system status
- config-redacted.txt — Configuration (secrets removed)

Error Handling

API limits	Check if limits are exhausted	Yes
Debug logs	Apex execution traces	Yes
Org info	Instance, edition, user	Yes
