# Logging

## Component Logs

Catalyst displays logs for all running components on their main page. Logs are fetched from the Kubernetes API.

## How Logs Work

When you view a component, you see its log output. Each log entry includes a timestamp from the Kubernetes API.

## Navigating Logs

Scroll up and down through the log output. Scroll **down** to see newer entries, scroll **up** to see older ones.

## Log Formatting

Your logs can use any format. However, to enable level filtering, format your logs as JSON with a `level` field:

```json
{"level": "error", "message": "Connection failed"}
{"level": "info", "message": "Service started"}
```

When your logs follow this format, you can filter by severity level (info, warning, error, etc.).

## Searching Logs

Use the search field to find specific text within your loaded logs. The search works on logs currently displayed in your view. To search older logs, scroll up to load them first.
