View Logs¶
Servala provides access to the logs of your service instances for troubleshooting and monitoring.
Access instance logs¶
- Navigate to the instance detail page.
- Click the Logs tab or button.
- The portal displays recent log output from the service's pods.
Download logs¶
For offline analysis or sharing with support:
- Navigate to the instance logs view.
- Click Download Logs.
- The logs will be exported as a file you can save locally.
What's in the logs¶
The logs show output from the Kubernetes pods running your service. Depending on the service, you may see:
- Service startup and shutdown events
- Connection attempts and errors
- Query or request logs (if enabled by the service)
- Health check results
- Replication and backup status
Troubleshooting with logs¶
Common things to look for:
- Connection refused errors -- the service may still be starting up or may have run out of resources
- Authentication failures -- check that your application is using the correct credentials from the instance detail page
- Out of memory errors -- consider upgrading to a larger compute plan
If you need help interpreting logs, contact support through the Support section in the portal.
