Showing Workload Logs

The administration application gives you access to the logs of Kubernetes workloads.

You have two options to access the logs:

• Use option Open logs in the quick actions bar in the services' list:

• Open the details page of the service, open section Logs and click on the Log Analyzer link:

For most service types, you can only access the logs and not change them (refer to Changing the Log Level of a Workload):

Both ways will open the logs of the corresponding Kubernetes workload in the Log Analyzer where you can view, filter and search the platform logs for all services:

If you access the Log Analyzer for the first time on a newly installed platform, you will have to create an index pattern first. Refer to Analyzing Platform Logs for further details.

The following retention times are valid for log files of your PAS installation:

• Container logs: Log files inside all containers are deleted after 7 days.

• Integration (Bridge) logs: The default retention time for Bridge logs is 30 days. This is configurable in the UI, refer to Node Instance Preferences.
