| 10 | +This guide shows you how to enable and view logs from your Sandbox applications. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Enable logging |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +To view logs, enable Workers Logs in your `wrangler.jsonc`: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +```jsonc |
| 17 | +{ |
| 18 | + "name": "my-worker", |
| 19 | + "observability": { |
| 20 | + "enabled": true |
| 21 | + } |
| 22 | +} |
| 23 | +``` |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Deploy your Worker for logs to start appearing. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## View logs |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +After deploying, logs appear in two places: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +**Durable Objects logs** - High-level operations |
| 32 | +1. Go to [Workers & Pages](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/workers-and-pages) on the Cloudflare dashboard |
| 33 | +2. Select your Worker → **Bindings** → Select the **Sandbox** Durable Object binding → **Logs** |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +**Container logs** - Detailed execution |
| 36 | +1. Go to [Containers](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/containers) on the Cloudflare dashboard |
| 37 | +2. Select your container → **Logs** |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +## Debug with trace IDs |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +The Sandbox SDK automatically adds trace IDs to all logs. Use them to follow a request across Durable Objects and Containers. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +### Find trace IDs |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Every log entry includes a `traceId` field: |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +```json |
| 48 | +{ |
| 49 | + "level": "info", |
| 50 | + "msg": "Command execution started", |
| 51 | + "traceId": "tr_7f3a9b2c4e5d6f1a", |
| 52 | + "sandboxId": "user-123", |
| 53 | + "command": "python analyze.py" |
| 54 | +} |
| 55 | +``` |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +### Follow a request |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +1. Find any log related to your request |
| 60 | +2. Copy the `traceId` value |
| 61 | +3. Filter both Durable Objects and Container logs with: `traceId:"tr_7f3a9b2c4e5d6f1a"` |
| 62 | +4. View the complete flow |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +Example - debugging a failed command: |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +```json |
| 67 | +// Durable Objects log |
| 68 | +{ |
| 69 | + "msg": "Command execution started", |
| 70 | + "traceId": "tr_7f3a9b2c4e5d6f1a", |
| 71 | + "sandboxId": "user-123", |
| 72 | + "command": "python analyze.py" |
| 73 | +} |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +// Container log |
| 76 | +{ |
| 77 | + "level": "error", |
| 78 | + "msg": "Command execution failed", |
| 79 | + "traceId": "tr_7f3a9b2c4e5d6f1a", |
| 80 | + "exitCode": 1, |
| 81 | + "stderr": "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas'" |
| 82 | +} |
| 83 | +``` |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +The trace ID connects both logs, showing the command failed due to a missing dependency. |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +## Reduce log volume |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +For high-traffic applications, sample logs to reduce costs: |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +```jsonc |
| 92 | +{ |
| 93 | + "observability": { |
| 94 | + "enabled": true, |
| 95 | + "head_sampling_rate": 0.1 // Log 10% of requests |
| 96 | + } |
| 97 | +} |
| 98 | +``` |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +### Logs not appearing |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +If you don't see logs: |
| 105 | +- Verify `observability.enabled: true` in `wrangler.jsonc` |
| 106 | +- Deploy your Worker (logs don't appear locally) |
| 107 | +- Wait a few seconds after deployment |
| 108 | +- Check you're viewing the correct Worker/Container |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +### Can't find specific request |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +1. Check both Durable Objects and Container logs |
| 113 | +2. Search by `sandboxId` if you know it |
| 114 | +3. Filter by time range around when the request occurred |
| 115 | +4. Use trace IDs to see the full request flow |
