Accessing historical application logs

[antonipelka]

Hello, I have a Node.js application deployed on AWS EKS. When I’m looking at application logs in Qovery I only see past few hours of them. Is there any easy way to access historical logs or they are not available?

If they are not available, I assume it is preferable to connect external solution like DataDog/PaperTrail/Logstash or mount a volume to store it on disk, correct?

Thanks a lot,
Antoni

Hi @antonipelka , you can take a look at this thread.

How to retrieve application and infrastructure logs from Loki on my EKS cluster?

Hey there, I’ve installed Datadog on my cluster, it’s working really well, but we only have 2 weeks of log retention there. How can I easily retrieve and search for my application logs that were generated before two weeks? Thanks!

However, I recommend using Datadog/NewRelic/Papertrail or any third-party solution to manage your app logs and even monitoring. We have a tutorial on how to install Datadog if you want.

Oh, so I can access those using that Loki tool.

Any chance that Qovery dashboard will allow seeking past logs anytime in the future?

Thanks a lot!

It’s planned and will be available in the coming weeks
