How to see contracts on a remote ledger

Is there a tool for connecting to a remote ledger and getting some kind of visualization of the contracts therein? I know VS code lets you do that with scripts against a local in memory sandbox, but I’m trying to debug an extant application

Hi @Daniel_Porter and welcome to the forum!

There are two main options:

  1. You can use Navigator to connect to a running ledger and view the active contracts. You won’t get transaction graphs like you do in Daml Studio though.
  2. You can use daml ledger export to export (parts of) your ledger to a Daml Script and then visualize that in Daml Studio as you pointed out above.

Note that Navigator is targeted at development and daml ledger export is still in early access so be careful when connecting those tools to production ledgers.
