Search logs
Contents
Logs is currently in early beta. While in beta, logs is free to use.
We're always looking for feedback to improve logs, please reach out to us directly in app.
The logs search accepts multiple tokens and quoted phrases to help you find the exact log lines you need.
- Space-separated words are combined with implicit AND: the log must contain all positive tokens
- Prefix a token with
!to exclude logs that contain that token. You can use multiple negative tokens to exclude several different terms - Wrap text in double quotes to search for an exact phrase (an exact substring match)
How to use search
Require multiple words
Type: bug frontend
Result: Shows logs that contain both the words bug and frontend anywhere in the line.
Exclude words
Type: error !timeout
Result: Shows logs that contain error but excludes any log that also contains timeout.
Combine require + exclude
Type: api "server error" !403 !timeout
Result: Must contain api and the exact phrase server error, and must not contain 403 or timeout.
Search exact phrases
Type: "failed to connect"
Result: Matches logs that include the substring failed to connect exactly as written.
More examples
| Query | What it finds |
|---|---|
login timeout | Logs that contain both login and timeout |
login !debug | Logs that contain login and excludes logs that contain debug |
"database error" | Logs with the exact phrase database error |
"payment failed" !trace !debug | Logs that contain the exact phrase payment failed and excludes any that contain trace or debug |
Tips
- Special characters: If a token contains spaces or special characters, wrap it in double quotes to treat it as a single search item
- Standalone exclamation mark: A standalone
!by itself is ignored — use!followed by text to exclude that text - Multiple negative tokens: List multiple
!tokens(e.g.,!debug !trace) to exclude logs that contain any of those tokens - Punctuation: Quotes and escapes are handled using shell-like parsing rules, so complex tokens should be quoted if they contain spaces or special characters
