# Logs

> Debug errors and track activity in your app with searchable built-in backend logs across functions, database, auth, and storage.

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 chat and ask Lovable to fix the problem.

To open logs, go to **Cloud tab → 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                                            |

| 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                                                        |
| Cron job logs           | Scheduled [job](/features/jobs) executions and cron task logs                                          |
| Edge logs               | HTTP requests and responses from Edge Functions                                                        |
| Function logs           | Serverless function execution logs and events                                                          |
| PostgREST logs          | API requests to your database through PostgREST (the layer your app uses to read and write data)       |
| Supavisor logs          | Connection pooling and database proxy logs (how your app's database connections are shared)            |
| PgBouncer logs          | Legacy connection pooling logs (an older connection pooler, relevant to older projects)                |
| PostgreSQL upgrade logs | Database upgrade processes and migration logs                                                          |

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

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do logs update in real time?">
    No. The view shows a snapshot of the selected time range. Click **Refresh** to see the latest entries.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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 Lovable to build logging or analytics into your app itself.

  <Accordion title="What does 'Rate limit reached' mean?">
    You've requested logs too frequently in a short period. Wait a moment and refresh again.
