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. ![Control Center right dataplant](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/cc/logs/picts/cc-right-dataplant.png) ## Get logs ### Get logs of past job executions The Logs Explorer allows you to check the logs of: - [Data Processing Engine actions](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/it/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/landing-page-dpe-actions.md) job executions - [Data Processing Engine workflows](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/it/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/dpe-workflows.md) job executions - [Connectors metadata extract](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/it/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/connectors-analyzer-extract-metadata.md) jobs - [Lakehouse Manager physical build](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/it/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/lakehouse-manager-manage-tables.md) jobs Choose _Jobs_ as the **Resource** on the left column. ![Get logs of past job executions — Control Center right jobs](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/cc/logs/picts/cc-right-jobs.png) Choose the **type of jobs** to explore. ![Get logs of past job executions — Control Center jobs type](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/cc/logs/picts/cc-jobs-type.png) 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. ![Get logs of past job executions — Control Center jobs object](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/cc/logs/picts/cc-jobs-object.png) You can drill-down further by filtering on a specific **execution ID** or a specific time-range above the display. :::warning Make sure that the execution that you want to display is contained in the time-range that you are filtered on. ::: ![Get logs of past job executions — Control Center jobs execution timeframe](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/cc/logs/picts/cc-jobs-execution-timeframe.png) :::info Note that logs will be queried by successive batches of at most 250 logs. Scroll down in the console to load more logs. ::: ### Get logs of deployments The Logs Explorer also allows you to check the logs of: - [APIs](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/it/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/landing-page-app-services-apis.md) - [Applications](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/it/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/landing-page-app-services-apps.md) - [Notebooks](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/it/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/dpe-notebooks.md) - [Always-up deployments in the Data Processing Engine](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/it/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/dpe-jobs-preferences.md#always-up) - The _App Service_ component: an infrastructure service to control APIs and apps Choose _Deployments_ as the **Resource** on the left column. ![Get logs of deployments — Control Center right deployments](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/cc/logs/picts/cc-right-deployments.png) Choose the **type of deployment** to explore. ![Get logs of deployments — Control Center deployments type](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/cc/logs/picts/cc-deployments-type.png) 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. ![Get logs of deployments — Control Center deployments object](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/cc/logs/picts/cc-deployments-object.png) You can drill-down further by filtering on a specific **worker ID** or a specific time-range above the display. ![Get logs of deployments — Control Center deployment worker timeframe](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/cc/logs/picts/cc-deployment-worker-timeframe.png) :::info Note that logs will be queried by successive batches of at most 250 logs. Scroll down in the console to load more logs. ::: ### Use the streaming mode By default, the Logs Explorer must be refreshed manually to display new logs. ![Use the streaming mode — Control Center left refresh](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/cc/logs/picts/cc-left-refresh.png) Activate the **streaming mode** to receive the latest logs in real time. ![Use the streaming mode — Control Center left streaming](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/cc/logs/picts/cc-left-streaming.png) ## 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)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression) 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. ![Search in logs — Control Center left searchlog](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/cc/logs/picts/cc-left-searchlog.png) 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 ![Search in logs — Control Center left searchlog2](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/cc/logs/picts/cc-left-searchlog2.png) ### Severity Logs have different level of severity - ranged from _INFO_ to _CRITICAL_ - to filter on. :::info If you don't see all the levels that you should be seeing, make sure your jobs are [configured to export the correct level](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/it/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/dpe-jobs-preferences.md#logs-level) of logs. ::: ![Severity — Control Center left severity](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/cc/logs/picts/cc-left-severity.png) ### 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. ![Timestamp — Control Center jobs execution timeframe](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/cc/logs/picts/cc-jobs-execution-timeframe.png) ## 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. ![Share an Explorer link — Control Center left link](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/cc/logs/picts/cc-left-link.png) ### Export a log file Click on the **export** icon to download a .log file containing the logs currently displayed in the UI. ![Export a log file — Control Center left export](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/cc/logs/picts/cc-left-export.png) :::info Share those log files to the Data Platform Support team whenever you need help debugging a Project on Data Platform. ::: ## Go further If you need training or technical assistance to implement our solutions, contact your sales representative or click on [this link](https://www.ovhcloud.com/it/professional-services/) to get a quote and ask our Professional Services experts for a custom analysis of your project.
