# View Logs using Wix Logs

Wix Logs allow you to view [logs](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/workspace-tools/developer-tools/logs/about-logs.md) in real-time, and you can pause, resume, or clear the log stream. Logs contain [metadata](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/workspace-tools/developer-tools/logs/log-object-structure.md) as well as the log's payload message.

> **Notes**:
> 
> - Logs viewed in Wix Logs can't be saved. To save logs for later use, use [Google Cloud Logs](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/workspace-tools/developer-tools/logs/view-logs-using-google-cloud-logs.md) or another [external logging tool](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/workspace-tools/developer-tools/logs/view-logs-using-an-external-monitoring-tool.md).
> - You can also use the [Site Monitoring service plugin](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/api-reference/wix-site-monitoring/service-plugin-spi/site-monitoring/introduction.md) to examine Wix Logs in real time. The [`LogEntry` object](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/api-reference/wix-site-monitoring/service-plugin-spi/site-monitoring/log-entry/introduction.md) contains the data for each log.


## View the logs

1. In the site dashboard, click **Developer Tools** > **Logging Tools**.

1. In the **Wix Logs** section, click **Open**. The Wix Logs page opens.

   <div style="text-align:left">

   <img src="https://wixmp-833713b177cebf373f611808.wixmp.com/images/6f82b8af9105b4198ffe5babf7d6114d.png" style="max-width:40vw" />

   </div>

1. To generate a log, preview or publish your site and [trigger an event that generates a log](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/workspace-tools/developer-tools/logs/generate-logs-to-debug-your-site.md). For example, if you have a button that, when clicked, logs the result of 2 multiplied numbers, click the button. The logs indicating success appear in the **Wix Logs** page:
    
    <div style="text-align:center">
    
    <img src="https://wixmp-833713b177cebf373f611808.wixmp.com/images/da26b939d6e7ef222f7aaa6b54d1bccf.png" style="max-width:40vw" />
    
    </div>
    
    Similarly, if not successful, the logs might display as follows:
    
    <div style="text-align:center">
    
    <img src="https://wixmp-833713b177cebf373f611808.wixmp.com/images/dbf2dc66af923e4d2c64564f8332de90.png" style="max-width:40vw" />
    
    </div>
    
    
    <blockquote class="tip">
    
    **Tip:**
    If the live log stream does not appear, refresh your site while the Wix Logs page is open in another tab.
    
    </blockquote>

    By default, each log displayed in the Wix Logs page includes the following fields:

    | Column      | Description                                                    | [Log object](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/workspace-tools/developer-tools/logs/log-object-structure.md) property |
    | ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Level**   | Log's severity level. Possible values are: <br><br> `INFO`, `WARNING`, `ERROR`, or `DEBUG`. | `severity` |
    | **Time**    | Timestamp when the log was triggered.                                        | `receiveTimestamp`                                                                                                                       |
    | **Message** | Log's payload message in JSON format.                                              | `jsonPayload.message`                                                                                                                    |
    | **Source file** | Path to the source file that generated the log message.                                              | `sourceLocation.file`                                                                                                                    |
    
    
1. You can change the view to suit your needs: 

    - To change the order of columns or display additional ones, such as the operation ID and the data stream, click ![customize-icon](https://wixmp-833713b177cebf373f611808.wixmp.com/images/3f5bdbf487735a2fe93e9717218340ac.png).
   
    - Filter the log messages by:
 
        - **Stream**. Filter by preview, live site, or both.
        - **Level**. Limit the logs by info, warning, error, or debug.
    
    
    - Find specific logs by providing search criteria. 


1. To view additional details for a log, hover over it and click **View**. See the [log object structure](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/workspace-tools/developer-tools/logs/log-object-structure.md) for an explanation of each field.

1. To copy the object in JSON format, click ![ellipsis-icon](https://wixmp-833713b177cebf373f611808.wixmp.com/images/0e583769d1305e30a5e8d6ca6ed59453.png) and then **Copy JSON**.
