Each mongod, mongos, and mongosqld instance keeps an account of its activity in its own log file. Atlas retains the last 30 days of log messages and system event audit messages. The Performance Advisor retains at most 7 days of logs.

Note

M0 free clusters and M2/M5 shared clusters do not provide downloadable logs.

To download logs, you must have Project Data Access Read Only access or higher to the project. Users with Organization Owner access must add themselves to the project as a Project Owner.

For information on reading MongoDB logs, refer to the Log Messages documentation in the MongoDB manual.

To view the logs for a deployment using the Atlas CLI, run the following command:

atlas deployments logs [options]

To learn more about the command syntax and parameters, see the Atlas CLI documentation for atlas deployments logs.
