Use session.log() during a request. Logs flush when the session closes. Stored in DB and/or printed to console.
session.log('Operation completed');
session.log('Something went wrong',
level: LogLevel.warning,
exception: e,
stackTrace: stackTrace);
Uncaught endpoint exceptions are logged as session failures in serverpod_session_log.
serverpod_log, serverpod_query_log, serverpod_session_log (when persistent enabled)text or json)Defaults: with database configured, persistent on + console off; without database, persistent off + console on.
Under sessionLogs: in config YAML or env vars:
| Setting | Env var | Default |
|---|---|---|
| persistentEnabled | SERVERPOD_SESSION_PERSISTENT_LOG_ENABLED | true (with DB) |
| consoleEnabled | SERVERPOD_SESSION_CONSOLE_LOG_ENABLED | false (with DB) |
| consoleLogFormat | SERVERPOD_SESSION_CONSOLE_LOG_FORMAT | text |
| cleanupInterval | SERVERPOD_SESSION_LOG_CLEANUP_INTERVAL | 24h |
| retentionPeriod | SERVERPOD_SESSION_LOG_RETENTION_PERIOD | 90d |
| retentionCount | SERVERPOD_SESSION_LOG_RETENTION_COUNT | — |
Set retention so log tables don't grow unbounded. Avoid logging sensitive data.
