Logging

Under Management → Logging administrators can view the raw log data captured by the application. It’s used to inspect application activity, monitor logged events, and investigate behavior across services, modules, users, collections, and objects. The page is read-only and only available to administrators.

Log lines are shown in a table with the following columns:

Column Description
Time The date and time the log line was created.
Service The service that created the log line.
Module The module or component where the log line originated.
Duration (ms) The duration in milliseconds, when applicable.
Message The logged message or event details.
User The related user, when applicable.
Collection The related collection, when applicable.
Object The related object, when applicable.

By default, the page shows log lines for all collections: you can filter down to a specific one.

Action Description
Filter Opens the filter dialog for advanced filtering and sorting.
Export Exports the current filter settings.
Import Imports saved filter settings.
View live Starts real-time logging; the view keeps refreshing until you stop it.
Reload Reloads the log lines manually.

The filter dialog has three tabs.

Filtering narrows down visible log lines: between a start and end date/time, messages containing certain text, requests with specific IDs, or by collection, object, or user.

Types filters by log level, service, or module. Available log levels, from least to most severe:

Log level Description
Trace Very detailed diagnostic information.
Debug Diagnostic information useful during debugging.
Information General informational messages about normal application behavior.
Warning A possible issue or unexpected situation.
Error An error occurred.
Critical A serious failure or critical issue.
None Log lines without a specific log level.

Sorting lets you choose which column to sort by and whether it’s ascending or descending; you can add multiple sorting rules.

  • Apply filters before reviewing large amounts of log data.
  • Filter by collection when investigating behavior for a specific collection.
  • Filter by user or object when investigating a specific action or record.
  • Use View live while reproducing an issue, to watch the logging in real time.
  • Use Export to save useful filter settings for later reuse.
  • Sort by timestamp descending to see the most recent log lines first.
  • This page shows raw application log data, which may include technical messages intended for administrators.
