SYSTEM$GET_SERVICE_LOGS

Retrieves local logs from a Snowpark Container Services service container.

See also:

Accessing container logs

Syntax

SYSTEM$GET_SERVICE_LOGS( <service_name>, <instance_id>, <container_name>
   [, <number_of_most_recent_lines> ] )
Copy

Arguments

Required:

service_name

Service name.

instance_id

ID of the service instance, starting with 0.

container_name

Container name as specified in the service specification file.

Optional:

number_of_most_recent_lines

Number of trailing log lines to retrieve.

Default: Up to 100 KB of the most recent log lines.

Returns

Returns a string consisting of newline-separated log entries from the specified service container.

Usage notes

  • The current role must have the MONITOR privilege on the service to access the container logs.

  • The function returns a container log as a string. You can use the SPLIT_TO_TABLE function to convert the string into a table containing one row for each newline-separated entry.

Examples

The following statement retrieves the last 10 log lines from the instance 0 of the “echo_service” service that is running in the “echo” container:

SELECT SYSTEM$GET_SERVICE_LOGS('TUTORIAL_DB.data_schema.echo_service', 0, 'echo', 10);
Copy

You can also follow Tutorial 1: Create a Snowpark Container Services Service to start a service and execute the preceding command to get the service log from a container.

The function returns a string consisting of newline-separated log entries. You can convert this string into a table using the SPLIT_TO_TABLE function and the TABLE() keyword (see Table functions).

SELECT value AS log_line
  FROM TABLE(
    SPLIT_TO_TABLE(SYSTEM$GET_SERVICE_LOGS('echo_service', 0, 'echo'), '\n')
  )
Copy

You can further apply a filter to retrieve only specific log entries. The WHERE clause in the following SELECT statement uses the CONTAINS function to retrieve only the log lines containing a specific date string:

SELECT value AS log_line
  FROM TABLE(
   SPLIT_TO_TABLE(SYSTEM$GET_SERVICE_LOGS('echo_service', '0', 'echo'), '\n')
  )
  WHERE (CONTAINS(log_line, '06/Jun/2023 02:44:'))
  ORDER BY log_line;
Copy

The following sample output shows three log entry rows retrieved:
