Logs

Logs provide visibility into different stages of your application lifecycle. They help you trace deployment processes, monitor live application behavior, and review server-side actions.

Build/Deploy Logs

Logs for a specific deployment can be viewed by clicking on the deployments in the service window, useful when debugging application failures.

• Purpose: Trace the deployment process and identify failures if a deployment does not succeed.
• When to use:
  • When builds fail due to dependency or configuration issues
  • When deployment do not complete successfully
• Access: Click View Logs in the Deployments panel during or after deployment.

Runtime Logs

Runtime logs display activity from your application after it has been successfully deployed and is running.

• Purpose: Monitor the behavior of the running application, including traffic, background processes, and errors.
• When to use:
  • To observe how the application handles requests in production
  • To identify runtime errors or crashes
  • To debug long-running processes or background jobs
• Access: Continuously streamed in the Logs tab while the application is active.

Server Logs

Server logs capture events and actions performed at the server level, outside of the application runtime.

• Purpose: Track operational events, such as infrastructure or configuration changes.
• When to use:
  • To verify actions like installing new plugins or deleting services
  • To audit server-level activity
  • To troubleshoot infrastructure-related issues
• Access: Available in the Server Logs section of the dashboard.
