Discover the new Execution Log feature for integration records in NetSuite 2026.1, enhancing your API interaction visibility.

·2026.1 — 2026.1 Release Notes·From NetSuite Release Notes PDF

In the latest release of NetSuite (2026.1), one of the standout features for developers and administrators is the enhanced Execution Log available for integration records. This feature integrates seamlessly with SOAP Web Services, RESTlets, and now includes a dedicated tab for the AI Connector Service (also known as MCP). This addition significantly improves the capability to monitor and debug integration activities through a centralized logging interface.

Understanding the Execution Log

The Execution Log allows you to trace and analyze the interactions your system has with various APIs. Each log entry corresponds to a specific API call made from the integration record you are inspecting and presents a wealth of details to help in diagnostics. Here’s what you can expect to find in the log:

  • Time: The timestamp indicating when the API call was made.
  • Duration: How long the API call took to process—valuable for performance tuning.
  • Status: Displays whether the call was successful or if an error occurred.
  • User Email: The email address of the user who initiated the API call, aiding in accountability.
  • HTTP Status Code: Insight into the response of the API call, useful for understanding the result of the interaction (e.g., 200, 404, 500).
  • Method: This shows the type of HTTP method used (GET, POST, etc.), helping developers recognize the nature of the requests made.
  • URL: The endpoint that was called, essential for comprehension and tracing of API calls.

Best Practices for Using the Execution Log

Utilizing the Execution Log effectively can save you time and headaches in managing integrations. Here are some best practices to consider:

  • Regular Monitoring: Make it a habit to review the logs after significant integration activities or deployments to catch potential issues early.
  • Error Analysis: Pay close attention to any entries with errors or failures. Analyzing these can provide immediate insights into what went wrong, which is crucial for prompt resolution.
  • Performance Tracking: Use the duration column as a performance metric. If certain API calls take considerably longer than expected, they may need optimization.
  • Integrate with Alerts: If possible, integrate the log monitoring process with alerting systems. This way, you can get notified in real time when issues arise.

Conclusion

With the addition of the AI Connector Service tab and the rich detail provided in the Execution Log, NetSuite 2026.1 is making it easier for developers and administrators to manage integrations effectively. The new functionality streamlines the process of monitoring API interactions, which is essential for maintaining system stability and performance.
