# Cloud Logs

Cloud Logs executes mcloud logs to fetch and stream runtime logs from backend or storefront environments. Use it to search errors, filter by time range, or scope results to a deployment.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/medusajs/medusa-agent-skills/tree/main/plugins/medusa-cloud/skills/mcloud-logs ~/.claude/skills/mcloud-logs
```

## README

# Cloud CLI: Logs Command

Execute `mcloud logs` to fetch runtime logs for a Cloud environment's backend or storefront.

## Constraints

- `--follow` and `--json` are incompatible. For programmatic log analysis, use bounded time windows with `--from`/`--to` and `--json`.
- `--follow` streams until interrupted with `Ctrl+C` — do not use in scripts or pipelines.
- Default retrieves the last 500 log lines from the past 15 minutes.

## Command

```bash
mcloud logs \
  --organization <org-id> \
  --project <project-id-or-handle> \
  --environment <environment-handle> \
  [options]
```

## Options

| Option | Description | Default |
|--------|-------------|---------|
| `-o/--organization <id>` | Organization ID | Active context |
| `-p/--project <id-or-handle>` | Project ID or handle | Active context |
| `-e/--environment <handle>` | Environment handle | Active context |
| `-f/--follow` | Stream logs continuously (incompatible with `--json`) | `false` |
| `--limit <1-5000>` | Max log lines (non-follow mode only) | `500` |
| `--from <ISO8601>` | Start of time range (e.g. `2026-04-22T10:00:00Z`) | 15 minutes ago |
| `--to <ISO8601>` | End of time range; if >15 min ago, must also pass `--from` | now |
| `--search <string>` | Filter by substring (same as dashboard search bar) | — |
| `--deployment <id>` | Filter by deployment or build ID | — |
| `--source <string>` | Filter by source (repeatable) | — |
| `--metadata <key=value>` | Filter by metadata field (repeatable; same key merges values) | — |
| `--type <backend\|storefront>` | Log stream to query | `backend` |
| `--json` | Output as JSON (incompatible with `--follow`) | `false` |

## Examples

```bash
# Basic log fetch (last 500 lines, last 15 min)
mcloud logs --json

# Search for errors
mcloud logs --search error --limit 1000 --json

# Filter for HTTP 500 errors via metadata
mcloud logs --metadata status=500 --limit 1000 --json

# Logs for a specific deployment (build or deployment ID)
mcloud logs --deployment bld_01ABC123 --json

# Structured output for agent analysis
mcloud logs --search error --json | jq '.[] | {timestamp, source, message}'

# Storefront logs
mcloud logs --type storefront --json

# Stream live logs (human-readable, not for scripts)
mcloud logs --follow

# Logs within a specific time range
mcloud logs --from 2026-04-22T10:00:00Z --to 2026-04-22T11:00:00Z --limit 1000 --json

# Logs from a time until now
mcloud logs --from 2026-04-22T10:00:00Z --json

# Multiple source filters
mcloud logs --source api --source worker --json

# Multiple metadata filters (HTTP 4xx and 5xx)
mcloud logs --metadata status=400 --metadata status=500 --limit 500 --json
```

## Time Range Notes

- Default window is the past 15 minutes.
- Pass `--from` without `--to` to fetch from a time until now.
- Pass `--to` without `--from` only if `--to` is within the last 15 minutes; otherwise also pass `--from`.
- Both `--from` and `--to` accept ISO 8601 timestamps.
