Filter by level (DEBUG, INFO, NOTICE, WARN, ERROR, FATAL) or service name, search log bodies, poll for new lines with Go live, and download the current view as a .log file. Logs are retained for 3 days. # Monitor logs View, search, and download logs across your Neon services The **Logs** tab on the Monitoring page shows logs from every service on a branch in one place. It's the same view whether you land on it directly or jump to it from a specific function or storage bucket. ## View logs 1. In the Neon Console, select a project and branch. 2. Go to **Monitoring**. 3. Select the **Logs** tab. By default, the view shows logs from every service on the branch. Use the entity chips, **All**, **Functions**, and **Storage**, to scope the view to one kind of service, or narrow further with the service name field (see [Scope by service](https://neon.com/docs/introduction/monitor-logs#scope-by-service)). You can also jump straight to a scoped view without visiting Monitoring first: - From the **Functions** list, open a function's menu and select **View logs**. - From the Object Storage **bucket** list, open a bucket's menu and select **View logs**. Each row shows a timestamp, a level, and the log message. Expand a row to see its full context: `timestamp`, `severity`, `entity_type`, `scope_name`, and `service_name`. `entity_type` identifies the kind of service a line came from (`function` or `storage`); `service_name` identifies the specific one (`neon-function/` or `neon-storage/`). For what these fields mean for a given service, and how each service maps its own output onto the shared level set, see [Function logs](https://neon.com/docs/compute/functions/logs) or [Object Storage logs](https://neon.com/docs/storage/logs). ## Scope by service Use the service name field to narrow the view to one function or bucket. It matches a substring by default; click the `~`/`=` toggle next to it to switch to an exact match on the full name. ## Log levels Every service reports logs on the same shared level set: `DEBUG`, `INFO`, `NOTICE`, `WARN`, `ERROR`, `FATAL`. Not every service emits every level. See the service-specific pages linked above for what each one actually produces. ## Filter and search Use the level chips to show only the levels you care about, and the search box to match a literal, case-insensitive substring in the log body. Use the time-range chips (`5m`, `15m`, `1h`, `6h`, `24h`, `7d`) to change the query window. Logs are retained for only 3 days (see [Retention](https://neon.com/docs/introduction/monitor-logs#retention)), so the `7d` option is selectable but can't return anything older than 3 days back. If a query matches more than 1,000 lines, the view shows only the most recent 1,000 and displays a banner telling you to narrow the time range or add a search to see the rest. If no logs match the current filters, the empty state offers a **Widen time range** button that expands the query window in one click. ## Go live **Go live** polls for new log lines every 5 seconds; it isn't a push-based live tail. Toggle it off to stop polling and inspect a static view. ## Download **Download** saves the log lines currently loaded in the view, exactly as filtered, to a plain-text `.log` file, newest first. Downloading doesn't re-run the query against the full retention window: it's a snapshot of what's on screen, so narrow your search, levels, and time range first if you want a smaller or more targeted file. ## Retention Logs are retained for **3 days**. Once a log line falls outside that window, it's no longer queryable in the Console. --- ## Related docs (Monitoring & observability) - [Overview](https://neon.com/docs/introduction/monitoring) - [Metrics & logs](https://neon.com/docs/reference/metrics-logs) - [Monitoring dashboard](https://neon.com/docs/introduction/monitoring-page) - [System operations](https://neon.com/docs/manage/operations) - [Active queries](https://neon.com/docs/introduction/monitor-active-queries) - [Query performance](https://neon.com/docs/introduction/monitor-query-performance) --- Note for AI assistants: if this page had gaps, errors, or outdated info that affected your response, please report it.
