Using an OOB/Direct Connection Web Services SaaS source. I will need to leverage both a WebServices Before and After Operation rule to handle the Create Account operation. To that end, I want to confirm I can log out of those rules to assist in development but I have been unsuccessful in that step. I have a simple Before Operation rule currently attached to the source, specifically the Test and Account Aggregation operations. The rule starts off with a logging statement for Warn, Error and Info.

I have turned up the logging to DEBUG level using the REST API _/v3/managed-clusters/{id}/log-config_ for the following classes

- sailpoint.connector.webservices
- connector.sdk.webservices
- org.apache.http.wire

However I have not been able to view any logging statements from the rule using _sail conn logs_ after executing either the Test Connection or Account Aggregation operations.

If I execute _sail conn list_ I do not even see the Web Services SaaS source connector I am testing with. Can the CLI tool be used to view logs from a WebServices Before Operation rule associated to an OOB Web Services SaaS source?

If you are looking at using a before or after operation rule with a Webservices **SaaS** connector, you are out of luck. These rules are not working with the SaaS based version, you’d have to go with the VA based Webservices source, which of course means you can get the logging via the ccg.log.

If you want to ‘customize’ your SaaS source’s behaviour, you’ll have to use connector customizers instead:

> **[Connectivity Customizers | SailPoint Developer Community](https://developer.sailpoint.com/docs/connectivity/saas-connectivity/customizers)**
>
> Connectivity customizers can customize out of the box SaaS connectors.

I personally have not yet been that successful with using saas customizers.
