Analyze application logs

Read and analyze structured wide-event logs from the local .evlog/logs/ directory to debug errors, investigate performance issues, and understand application behavior.

When to Use

• User asks to debug an error, investigate a bug, or understand why something failed
• User asks about request patterns, slow endpoints, or error rates
• User asks "what happened" or "what's going on" with their application
• User asks to analyze logs, check recent errors, or review application behavior
• User mentions a specific error message or status code they're seeing

Finding the logs

Try the CLI first; it reads both file layouts, every dated file, and knows where the project's drain writes. Prefer the copy the project installed (pnpm evlog, or the equivalent for its package manager). The wrappers that fetch on demand (npx, bunx, npm exec) install @evlog/cli when the project has none, which runs a release the lockfile never pinned. Ask before that happens.
