Simple Log Service:GetProjectLogs

Last Updated:Mar 27, 2026

Queries logs in a project. You can use this operation to query logs at the project level.

Operation description

Usage notes

  • Host consists of a project name and a Simple Log Service endpoint. You must specify a project in Host.

  • An AccessKey pair is created and obtained. For more information, see AccessKey pair.

The AccessKey pair of an Alibaba Cloud account has permissions on all API operations. Using these credentials to perform operations in Simple Log Service is a high-risk operation. We recommend that you use a Resource Access Management (RAM) user to call API operations or perform routine O&M. To create a RAM user, log on to the RAM console. Make sure that the RAM user has the management permissions on Simple Log Service resources. For more information, see Create a RAM user and authorize the RAM user to access Simple Log Service.

  • The information that is required to query logs is obtained. The information includes the name of the project to which the logs belong and the region of the project. For more information, see Manage a project.

  • Indexes are configured before you query logs. For more information, see Create indexes.

  • Limits are imposed when you use Simple Log Service to query logs. We recommend that you specify query statements and query time ranges based on the limits. For more information, see Log search overview and Log analysis overview.

  • You must set query to a standard SQL statement.

  • You must specify a Logstore in the FROM clause of an SQL statement. A Logstore can be used as an SQL table.

  • You must specify a time range in an SQL statement by using the __date__ or __time__ parameter. The value of the __date__ parameter is a timestamp. The value of the __time__ parameter is an integer, and the unit of the value is seconds.
