note

Currently, this feature is behind the feature flag SPG_LOG_SERVICE_ENABLE_DOWNLOAD_LOGS. Contact Harness Support to enable the feature.

You can download pipeline or step execution logs via the UI. You can download pipeline, stage, and step execution logs via the API.

The process of downloading logs is the same for all Harness modules. Your access to certain modules and settings limits the functionality available to you.

After you download the execution log files, you can view the JSON logs.

The extracted files have many levels of nested directories. To locate specific log files, you may need to navigate through several levels.

Download step log files​

To download step log files, do the following:

  1. In Harness, select your pipeline.

  3. Under Details, select the download icon.

Download logs via API​

You can download pipeline, stage, and step execution logs via the Log Service API /log-service/blob/download. The POST API requires a Harness API key passed in the Bearer Token field of the Authorization header.

You receive a download link for the log file in the API response. For more information, go to the API reference.
