# Azion CLI logs The Azion CLI `logs` commands print recent logs in the terminal. `azion logs cells` shows the console logs of your [functions](/en/documentation/platform/functions/), and `azion logs http` shows the HTTP event logs of your [applications](/en/documentation/platform/applications/). The options every command accepts, such as `--debug`, `--timeout`, and `-c`, are on [Global options](/en/documentation/devtools/cli/globals/). --- ## Usage `azion logs` takes the kind of log as a subcommand, `cells` or `http`: ```bash azion logs [flags] ``` The command takes no flags of its own. `-h` or `--help` prints the help of the command, and `azion logs --help` prints the help of one subcommand. --- ## azion logs cells `azion logs cells` shows the console logs that your functions write. `cells` is the name the CLI gives to function console logs. The command returns the logs of the last 5 minutes: ```bash azion logs cells [flags] ``` | Flag | Short | Type | Default | Description | | --------------- | ----- | ------ | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `--function-id` | — | string | — | ID of the function whose logs you want. Without it, the command shows the logs of every function. | | `--limit` | — | string | `"100"` | Number of log entries the command shows at a time. | | `--pretty` | — | — | — | Prints the logs in a formatted layout. | | `--tail` | — | — | — | Keeps the command running and prints logs as they arrive, like `tail -f`. Between logs, it prints `Waiting for the next event...`. | To find the ID of a function, refer to [Azion CLI function](/en/documentation/devtools/cli/resources/function/). --- ## azion logs http `azion logs http` shows the HTTP event logs of your applications, one entry per request, oldest first. The command returns the logs of the last 5 minutes: ```bash azion logs http [flags] ``` | Flag | Short | Type | Default | Description | | ---------- | ----- | ------ | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `--limit` | — | string | `"100"` | Number of log entries the command shows at a time. | | `--pretty` | — | — | — | Prints each field of an entry on its own line. | | `--tail` | — | — | — | Keeps the command running and prints logs as they arrive, like `tail -f`. Between logs, it prints `Waiting for the next event...`. | Each entry carries the timestamp, host, request URI, status, user agent, region name, bytes sent, request time, and request method of one request. --- ## Examples These examples read the HTTP event logs of an application that serves a static site. ### Show HTTP event logs This command shows five HTTP event logs: ```bash azion logs http --limit 5 ``` The command prints one line per request: ```text Timestamp: 2026-01-01 12:00:00 +0000 UTC, Host: xxxxxxxxxx.map.azionedge.net, Request URI: /, Status: 200, User Agent: curl/8.7.1, Region Name: , Bytes Sent: 692, Request Time: 0.445, Request Method: GET Timestamp: 2026-01-01 12:00:02 +0000 UTC, Host: xxxxxxxxxx.map.azionedge.net, Request URI: /, Status: 200, User Agent: curl/8.7.1, Region Name: , Bytes Sent: 692, Request Time: 0.392, Request Method: GET Timestamp: 2026-01-01 12:00:02 +0000 UTC, Host: xxxxxxxxxx.map.azionedge.net, Request URI: /about.html, Status: 200, User Agent: curl/8.7.1, Region Name: , Bytes Sent: 692, Request Time: 1.056, Request Method: GET Timestamp: 2026-01-01 12:00:02 +0000 UTC, Host: xxxxxxxxxx.map.azionedge.net, Request URI: /about, Status: 204, User Agent: curl/8.7.1, Region Name: , Bytes Sent: 0, Request Time: 0, Request Method: GET Timestamp: 2026-01-01 12:00:57 +0000 UTC, Host: xxxxxxxxxx.map.azionedge.net, Request URI: /, Status: 200, User Agent: curl/8.7.1, Region Name: , Bytes Sent: 692, Request Time: 0.614, Request Method: GET ``` ### Show HTTP event logs field by field This command shows two HTTP event logs in the readable layout: ```bash azion logs http --limit 2 --pretty ``` The command prints each field on its own line, with a blank line between requests: ```text Timestamp: 2026-01-01 12:00:00 +0000 UTC Host: xxxxxxxxxx.map.azionedge.net Request URI: / Status: 200 User Agent: curl/8.7.1 Bytes Sent: 692 Request Time: 0.445 Request Method: GET Region Name: Timestamp: 2026-01-01 12:00:02 +0000 UTC Host: xxxxxxxxxx.map.azionedge.net Request URI: / Status: 200 User Agent: curl/8.7.1 Bytes Sent: 692 Request Time: 0.392 Request Method: GET Region Name: ``` ### Follow HTTP event logs as they arrive This command prints the HTTP event logs of the last 5 minutes and keeps running: ```bash azion logs http --tail ``` While no request arrives, the command prints `Waiting for the next event...`. Each new request appears when it is logged, and the command runs until you stop it: ```text Timestamp: 2026-01-01 12:00:02 +0000 UTC, Host: xxxxxxxxxx.map.azionedge.net, Request URI: /, Status: 200, User Agent: curl/8.7.1, Region Name: , Bytes Sent: 692, Request Time: 0.392, Request Method: GET Timestamp: 2026-01-01 12:00:02 +0000 UTC, Host: xxxxxxxxxx.map.azionedge.net, Request URI: /about.html, Status: 200, User Agent: curl/8.7.1, Region Name: , Bytes Sent: 692, Request Time: 1.056, Request Method: GET Timestamp: 2026-01-01 12:00:02 +0000 UTC, Host: xxxxxxxxxx.map.azionedge.net, Request URI: /about, Status: 204, User Agent: curl/8.7.1, Region Name: , Bytes Sent: 0, Request Time: 0, Request Method: GET Timestamp: 2026-01-01 12:00:57 +0000 UTC, Host: xxxxxxxxxx.map.azionedge.net, Request URI: /, Status: 200, User Agent: curl/8.7.1, Region Name: , Bytes Sent: 692, Request Time: 0.614, Request Method: GET Timestamp: 2026-01-01 12:01:57 +0000 UTC, Host: xxxxxxxxxx.map.azionedge.net, Request URI: /, Status: 200, User Agent: curl/8.7.1, Region Name: , Bytes Sent: 692, Request Time: 0.466, Request Method: GET Timestamp: 2026-01-01 12:02:50 +0000 UTC, Host: xxxxxxxxxx.map.azionedge.net, Request URI: /, Status: 200, User Agent: curl/8.7.1, Region Name: , Bytes Sent: 692, Request Time: 0.444, Request Method: GET Timestamp: 2026-01-01 12:03:41 +0000 UTC, Host: xxxxxxxxxx.map.azionedge.net, Request URI: /, Status: 200, User Agent: curl/8.7.1, Region Name: , Bytes Sent: 692, Request Time: 0.478, Request Method: GET Waiting for the next event...
