# overlane observe logs

{/* Generated by apps/docs/scripts/generate.mjs (CLI pages from the command registry in packages/cli). Do not edit; run `pnpm --filter @overlane/docs gen`. */}

Lists recorded log lines for the connected project, newest first, or oldest first for one run. Text was redacted at ingest: a replaced span reads [redacted:rule] and the line says how many were replaced.

## Usage

```sh
overlane observe logs [--run RUN] [--limit N]
```

## Flags

| Flag | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--run` | string | no |  | Only this run's lines, oldest first |
| `--limit` | string | no |  | How many lines, default 200, at most 1000 |

## Examples

```sh
overlane observe logs
overlane observe logs --run run-12 --limit 50
```

## Behavior

- Effect: `read` (changes nothing).
- Needs credentials: yes. Uses the network: yes.
- Supports `--dry-run`: no. Accepts `--force`: no.
- Machine-readable description: `overlane schema observe logs`.

## Result

With `--json` (the default when stdout is not a terminal) the command prints this JSON Schema's shape on stdout.
