Cloud CLI: Logs Command
Execute mcloud logs to fetch runtime logs for a Cloud environment's backend or storefront.
Constraints
--follow and --json are incompatible. For programmatic log analysis, use bounded time windows with --from/--to and --json.
--follow streams until interrupted with Ctrl+C — do not use in scripts or pipelines.
- Default retrieves the last 500 log lines from the past 15 minutes.

Time Range Notes
- Default window is the past 15 minutes.
- Pass

- Pass
--to without --from only if --to is within the last 15 minutes; otherwise also pass --from.
- Both
--from and --to accept ISO 8601 timestamps.
