Execution Logs

Execution Logs are the immutable, time-ordered records of all events, transactions, and status changes that occur during a system's runtime.

Execution Logs provide the definitive audit trail for any running process: they capture critical data points like timestamps, transaction names, execution locations, and the final status (OK, Warning, or Error). This data is essential for immediate debugging and long-term performance monitoring (e.g., tracking a specific 'Checkout' transaction's latency over 90 days). Analysts use filtering tools to quickly isolate failed executions, identify root causes, and confirm system stability. For example, a log entry detailing a 'Database Query Timeout' at 14:35:22.104 provides the exact context needed to resolve a P1 issue, ensuring operational continuity and data integrity across distributed systems.
