How to check driver version

The easiest way to check your driver version:

1. In Database Navigator, right-click your connection.
2. Click Edit Connection.
3. In the window that opens, click Test.
4. In the summary pop-up, check the Client version-that’s your driver.

How to update driver version

To update a driver version:

1. As an administrator, go to Administration -> Driver Management.
2. Open the driver.
3. Go to the Libraries tab.

4. Click Add file and upload the new version. You need to download the JAR file manually. Sources vary depending on the driver:

   • Official vendor site-some drivers are only available on the database vendor’s site.
   • GitHub releases-many open-source drivers publish binaries in the Releases section.
   • Maven Central-some drivers are available at search.maven.org.
   • Other public repositories-some projects host drivers on project-specific sites or custom registries.

5. Delete the old file, then click Save.

   Note

   In the Community edition, you can update drivers only on the server. For details, see Driver Management.

How to get logs

To check logs for errors or connection issues:

• In the UI: go to Tools → Log Viewer.

• On the server: use Docker logs.

  Example:

  docker compose ps  # find service name
  docker logs <container_name> > container.log 2>&1
  

  Tip

  If the server won’t start after an update, run docker compose ps -a to list all containers (even stopped ones).

How to get logs in AWS

If you deployed CloudBeaver on AWS, you can access logs through the AWS Console:

1. In the EC2 Console, find your instance.
2. Click Connect.
3. Use Session Manager or SSH.

4. Run:

   docker compose ps  # find service name
   docker logs <container_name> > container.log 2>&1
   

   Tip

   When you run docker logs >> logs.txt, the file is saved inside the instance, in the directory where the command was run.
