Logs¶
On this page
Retrieves a compressed (.gz) log file that contains a range of log
messages for a particular host in an Atlas cluster.
Process and audit logs are updated from the cluster backend infrastructure every five minutes and contain log data from the previous five minutes. If you are polling the API for log files, polling every five minutes is recommended.
If the logs are updated at 4:00 UTC and then you poll the API, the API returns log data from the interval between 3:55 UTC and 4:00 UTC.
This feature is not available for M0 free clusters, M2, and
M5 clusters. To learn more about which features are unavailable,
see Atlas M0 (Free Cluster), M2, and M5 Limitations.
Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the
same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID
remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the
term groups.
You must have the Project Data Access Read Only role or
higher in the project that the cluster belongs to in order to
retrieve the log.
