Logs

Logs Dashboard Page

The logs page is a realtime view of all activity that occurs within your deployment.

Function activity includes:

  • The time of function execution.
  • The outcome of the function execution (success or failure).
  • The name of the invoked function.
  • The output of the function, including any log lines logged by the function (ex console.log) and exceptions.
  • The duration of function execution, in milliseconds (does not include network latency).

In addition to function activity, deployment events describing configuration changes will be present here.

You can use controls on the left-hand side of this page to filter logs by text, function name, execution status, and log severity.

Filter logs​

Use the “Filter logs” text box on the top of the controls to filter log text.

You can use the “Functions” drop-down list to include or exclude functions from the results.

You can also find logs for a particular error using "Filter logs" and the Convex request id. For example if you see this Error in your browser console:

Browser Error

You can view the logs for that function in your dashboard by pasting that Request ID into the 'Filter logs' search bar on the Logs page of your Convex dashboard:

Dashboard Filter by Request ID

Most error reporting services and log sinks should also be searchable by Request ID.

Status​

The status of a log entry indicates whether the Convex function succeeded or failed. All failed executions will include a reason, which will usually be a JavaScript exception.

Log Severity​

The log severity filter will control which log lines are included in the logs page. If a Convex function execution does not contain a log line matching the severity filter, it will be omitted from the results. The "No log lines" filter controls whether executions with no console output are included in the results.
