Logs in Canopy UI

Poly’s Canopy UI provides an easy way to view System Logs for your server functions.

Accessing Logs

  2. Hover over a function from the list view and select show logs.

    • Click the Show Logs button from the top of the detail view.

This will open the logs page and display the most recent parsed System Logs for the selected server function.

Note

Logs will only be available when the server function has Logs Enabled set to true, the server function has been invoked since enabling this option, and the log level is at INFO or higher.

Filtering Logs

When viewing logs, you can narrow results using the filter bar:

  • Keyword – Search for log entries containing specific text.

  • Last hours – Show only logs from the last n hours.

  • Last days – Show only logs from the last n days.

  • Limit – Restrict the number of log entries returned.

You can combine filters (e.g., keyword + time range) to quickly locate specific events.

Log Limitation

The maximum log line size is 16,384 bytes (containerd limit). Any log lines exceeding this size will not be parsed and stored by Poly.

Deleting Logs

Logs can be deleted manually by clicking the Clear logs button. This will bring up a confirmation modal prompting you to confirm the deletion.
