Logs API

This allows you to retrieve the logs from a given file that are filtered by the given query parameters.

GET {logViewer}/api/logs

Request parameters:

ParamDescription
host(string) The host.identifier of the host where you want to search. If left empty/null, searches the local host. Only available since version 2.2
file(string) The file.identifier where to search for the logs. If left empty/null, searches all logs.
direction(string) Sorts the results by their timestamp. Allowed values are asc and desc. Default: desc.
query(string) Search query.
levels(array) An array of severity levels to search the logs for. Available values: 'debug', 'info', 'notice', 'warning', 'error', 'critical', 'alert', 'emergency', 'processing', 'processed' and 'failed'.
shorter_stack_traces(boolean) Whether to shorten the stack traces as configured in config/log-viewer.php
page(int) Pagination, current page.
per_page(int) Pagination, number of items per page.

Here's an example request body to get only "error" and "warning" logs from laravel.log, ordered by latest first:

{    "file": "laravel.log",    "levels": ["warning", "error"],}

Log file identifiers have prefixes, like aq4jdh5g-laravel.log, where aq4jdh5g- is the prefix and laravel.log is the file name in the system.

This is needed to differentiate between two files with the same name but in different folders/locations.

You can skip the identifier in the "file" property and just ask for logs from laravel.log, but it will then return results from the first file found with that name.
