Last Updated:May 10, 2026

You can view the error logs and slow query logs for an instance on the Logs page in the ApsaraDB for RDS console to troubleshoot issues.

Note

This topic covers error logs and slow query logs. For information about the binary log, see Back up an ApsaraDB RDS for MariaDB instance and Download a log backup.

Usage notes

  • Slow query log integrity: Slow query log records can be incomplete or lost in the following scenarios:

    • The instance is under high load and experiences performance bottlenecks.

    • The instance receives a large number of SQL requests in a short period.

    • The service component that collects slow query logs is not working correctly.

  2. In the upper-left corner, select the region where the instance is located.

  3. Find the target instance and click its instance ID.

  4. In the navigation pane on the left, click Logs.
