Queries logs in a project by using an SQL statement.

Description

  • The query statement that is used in this operation is a standard SQL statement.
  • You must specify a project in the domain name of the request.
  • You must specify a Logstore in the FROM condition of the query statement. A Logstore can be regarded as an SQL table.
  • You must specify a time range in the SQL statement by using the __date__ parameter (timestamp) or __time__ parameter (UNIX timestamp).
  • If the number of logs in the Logstore greatly changes, Log Service cannot predict how many times this operation needs to be called to obtain the complete results. In this case, you must check the value of the x-log-progress parameter in the returned results of each request. Based on the value, you can decide whether to call this operation again to obtain the complete results. Each time you call this operation, the same number of charge units (CUs) are consumed.

Examples

In this example, the logs whose topic is groupA are queried in a Logstore named app_log. The Logstore belongs to a project named big-game in the China (Hangzhou) region. The time range is from September 1, 2014, 00:00:00 to September 1, 2014, 22:00:00 and the keyword is "error". The query starts from the beginning of the time range. A maximum of 20 logs can be returned.

            "Key4": "Value4"
        }
    ]
}

    In the sample response, the value of the x-log-progress parameter is Complete. This indicates that all logs are queried and the returned results are complete. In this query, two logs that meet the query conditions are found. If the value of the x-log-progress parameter is Incomplete, you must resend the request to obtain the complete results.
