Detailed text description: Log browser architecture

This page describes the log browser architecture graphic.

Overview​

The graphic shows how application and pipeline logs are collected, processed, and displayed in the Log Browser.

Main stages​

  1. Log sources:
  • Service runtime outputs (stdout and stderr).
  • Pipeline and execution-step log streams.
  1. Collection and ingestion:
  • Logs are collected by the platform observability pipeline.
  • Metadata is attached, such as service, replica, and execution context.
  1. Storage and retention:
  • Logs are stored centrally with a retention window.
  • Older entries are purged or overwritten according to retention and quota rules.
  1. Visualization:
  • Users query and filter logs in the Log Browser UI.
  • Filtering can use fields such as service, severity, and time range.

Key takeaway​

The architecture centralizes multiple log streams into one searchable interface for operational debugging.
