Use Security Admin → Logs to investigate activity in the current instance. Start with a time window, then search a grid column or open Advanced filter to combine conditions. This guide covers the Logs screen and its Platform API operation, GET /api/v1/config/logs.

Find a log entry

  1. Select a time range that covers the event. Logs start with a recent window; widen it only when needed.
  2. Search a visible grid column when you know one value, such as an Endpoint name or HTTP method.
  3. For several conditions, open Advanced filter → Builder. Add a group, choose All conditions (AND) or Any condition (OR), then add conditions or nested groups.
  4. Select Apply filter. Use Clear filter on the Logs toolbar to return to the time-only view.
  5. Open a matching row to inspect its details. Use its Trace ID to follow the wider operation in Trace.
The Search guide tab in the filter dialog contains a short example table. The full field and scenario tables below cover more investigations.

Which field should I use?

Ready-to-use searches

Each row describes conditions to enter in Builder. The timeframe picker applies to every search. For a field your application writes into Args (JSON), choose that field’s path in Builder and compare it with a value. For example, if your application logs an orderId field, search path orderId with Equals order-123. The fields available in Args depend on what that application logged.
Not every field is present on every log entry. A request can have an HTTP method without an RPC method; a discovery request can have an RPC method without a tool name. A blank field does not by itself mean that the request failed.

When a search returns nothing

  • Confirm the selected time range and the instance you are viewing.
  • Remove one condition at a time to find which value is too narrow.
  • Use Contains for a partial path, tool name, message, or error; use Equals for IDs and exact methods.
  • Open a related row and copy its exact Trace ID, Execution ID, or resource ID into Builder.
  • For Endpoint and Job Template names, use the searchable grid column. Builder compares their IDs.
Logs are operational evidence, not a complete resource-change history. Use Activity and observability for changes, Trace for cross-service timing, and Job History for durable automation state.
