#Objective

The Logs Explorer is a comprehensive tool to query and export logs from job executions and live deployments on the Data Platform.

Like all subcomponents in the Control Center, the Logs Explorer can be opened at the level of the organization. However, logs exploration will only be possible inside a specific Project. If the Logs Explorer is opened at the level of one Project, then this field cannot be edited.

#Get logs

#Get logs of past job executions

The Logs Explorer allows you to check the logs of:

• Data Processing Engine actions job executions
• Data Processing Engine workflows job executions
• Connectors metadata extract jobs
• Lakehouse Manager physical build jobs

Choose Jobs as the Resource on the left column.

Choose the type of jobs to explore.

By default, the Logs Explorer will display the logs for all jobs matching this type. You can drill-down on a specific object in the bottom left list - ranked by number of executions.

You can drill-down further by filtering on a specific execution ID or a specific time-range above the display.

#Get logs of deployments

The Logs Explorer also allows you to check the logs of:

• APIs
• Applications
• Notebooks
• Always-up deployments in the Data Processing Engine
• The App Service component: an infrastructure service to control APIs and apps

Choose Deployments as the Resource on the left column.

Choose the type of deployment to explore.

By default, the Logs Explorer will display the logs for all deployments matching this type. You can drill-down on a specific object in the bottom left list - ranked by number of active workers. By default, the logs of all workers for that deployed object are aggregated altogether in the display.

You can drill-down further by filtering on a specific worker ID or a specific time-range above the display.

#Use the streaming mode

By default, the Logs Explorer must be refreshed manually to display new logs.

Activate the streaming mode to receive the latest logs in real time.

#Filter logs

#Search in logs

To filter down your log result, it is possible to either search for an exact substring or to match to a regular expression (Regex) using the search bar above the console. Searching something in the searchbar will run a new log query on the whole timeframe and return the logs matching the search filters.

By default, simply typing text in the searchbar will search for all logs containing this substring, ignoring lowercase/capital letters.

Alternatively, it is possible to start your search with any of the following operators:

• = followed by text: search for all logs containing this substring (case sensitive)
• != followed by text: search for all logs not containing this substring (case sensitive)
• ~ followed by a regex: search for all logs matching the regular expression
• !~ followed by a regex: search for all logs that don't match the regular expression

#Severity

Logs have different level of severity - ranged from INFO to CRITICAL - to filter on.

#Timestamp

As mentioned above, logs are all associated to a specific timestamp, so they can be filtered on a time-range. For jobs execution logs, it is also possible to filter on one specific execution.

#Share logs

Logs can be shared in one of two ways: by sharing the link to the Logs Explorer or by exporting a text file containing the logs.

#Share an Explorer link

Click on the link icon to get a link for the page with the current filter configuration.

#Export a log file

Click on the export icon to download a .log file containing the logs currently displayed in the UI.
