# Logs

Logs record what happens in your app's backend: requests, function output, database activity, sign-ins, and errors. When something misbehaves, this is where you find out why. You can also paste a log entry into the project chat and ask RShift Sites to fix the problem.

To open logs, go to **More → Cloud → Logs**.

## Log types

Use the log type selector to choose which service's logs to view:

| Log type            | What it shows                                                                                          |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Server logs         | Execution logs from your deployed server worker                                                        |
| Function edge logs  | Edge Function execution logs with request and response data                                            |
| Authentication logs | User authentication events and security logs                                                           |
| PostgreSQL logs     | Database queries, errors, and performance metrics                                                      |
| Realtime logs       | WebSocket connections and realtime subscriptions (live updates such as chat messages or notifications) |
| Storage logs        | File uploads, downloads, and storage operations                                                        |
| Edge logs           | HTTP requests and responses from Edge Functions                                                        |
| Function logs       | Serverless function execution logs and events                                                          |

The selector is filtered to your project type: **Server logs** appears only on TanStack Start projects, and the other types appear on projects with the built-in backend (Cloud), where **Edge logs** is the default view.

## Search and filter

Three controls narrow down what you see:

* **Search events** filters entries by text.
* The **time interval selector** offers relative ranges from the last 15 minutes up to the last 5 days, or an absolute range with exact start and end times.
* A **status filter** narrows results, for example to error responses only.

Logs do not stream live. Click **Refresh** to load new entries, and **Show more** at the bottom to page further back in time.

Above the table, **Download** saves the loaded entries as a JSON file, and **Copy** copies them to your clipboard. Expand an entry to see its full contents and copy it individually.

## FAQ

**Do logs update in real time?**

No. The view shows a snapshot of the selected time range. Click **Refresh** to see the latest entries.

**How far back can I see logs?**

The relative ranges go back up to 5 days, and you can pick an absolute start and end time for older windows. For long-term retention, ask RShift Sites to build logging or analytics into your app itself.

**What does 'Rate limit reached' mean?**

You've requested logs too frequently in a short period. Wait a moment and refresh again.
