There are a number of different ways to review logs and metrics for your Managed Service for TimescaleDB services. You can use the native logging tool in the web console, retrieve details logs using the Aiven CLI tool, or integrate a third-party service, such as SolarWinds Loggly.
To see the most recent logged events for your service.
In MST Portal, in the
Servicestab, find the service you want to review, and check it is marked asRunning.Navigate to the
Logstab to see a constantly updated list of logged events.
If you want to dump your Managed Service for TimescaleDB logs to a text file or an archive for use later on, you can use the Aiven CLI.
Sign in to your Managed Service for TimescaleDB account from the Aiven CLI tool,
and use this command to dump your logs to a text file called tslogs.txt:
avn service logs -S desc -f --project <project name> <service_name> > tslogs.txt
For more information about the Aiven CLI tool, see the Aiven CLI section.
If you need to access logs for your services regularly, or if you need more detailed logging than Managed Service for TimescaleDB can provide in the web console, you can connect your Managed Service for TimescaleDB to a logging service such as SolarWinds Loggly.
