Search and analyze Estuary task logs with jq filtering. Use when investigating task failures, debugging connector errors, analyzing behavior patterns, or streaming live logs. Use when user says "check logs", "show me logs", "task failing", "why is my capture failing", "why is my materialization failing", "error messages", "why did it fail", "search task logs", "shard failed", "follow logs", "increase log level", "debug logging", "is this log message normal", "what does this message mean…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# flowctl logs - Search and analyze Estuary task logs

**Concepts**: Logs contain structured JSON with fields: `ts` (timestamp), `level`, `message`, and optional `fields` (extra context). Tasks are captures, materializations, or derivations running in Estuary.

## Prerequisites

`flowctl` must already be authenticated, as per estuary-flowctl-setup skill.

**Finding your task name**: If you don't already know the task name, use `flowctl catalog list --prefix <tenant/prefix>` to narrow it down, or copy it from the Captures or Materializations page in the Estuary web app. It looks like `org/prefix/connector-name`, for example:
```
acmeCo/ops/source-postgres
```

## Basic Usage

Quick check — pipe directly to the terminal:
```bash
flowctl logs --task <task> --since 1h | tail | jq -c
```

For investigations, save to a file first (see [Effective Log Analysis Workflow](#effective-log-analysis-workflow)).

### Live streaming (follow mode)

If a task is currently running and you want logs as they appear:
```bash
flowctl logs --task <task> --follow
```

Combine with `--since` to get recent history plus live tailing:
```bash
flowctl logs --task <task> --since 1h --follow
```
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add estuary/agent-skills/estuary-logs@sha256:0c163ebb82bdc67a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260505.8873932, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
