Details

This command provides access to all logged Juju activity on a per-model basis. By default, the logs for the currently select model are shown.

Each log line is emitted in this format:

<entity> <timestamp> <log-level> <module>:<line-no> <message>

The “entity” is the source of the message: a machine or unit. The names for machines and units can be seen in the output of juju status.

The ‘–include’ and ‘–exclude’ options filter by entity. The entity can be a machine, unit, or application for vm models, but can be application only for k8s models. These filters support wildcards * if filtering on the entity full name (prefixed by <entity type>-)

The ‘–include-module’ and ‘–exclude-module’ options filter by (dotted) logging module name. The module name can be truncated such that all loggers with the prefix will match.

The ‘–include-label’ and ‘–exclude-label’ options filter by logging label.

The filtering options combine as follows:

  • All --include options are logically ORed together.
  • All --exclude options are logically ORed together.
  • All --include-module options are logically ORed together.
  • All --exclude-module options are logically ORed together.
  • All --include-label options are logically ORed together.
  • All --exclude-label options are logically ORed together.
  • The combined --include, --exclude, --include-module, --exclude-module, –include-label and --exclude-label selections are logically ANDed to form the complete filter.
