FAQPage Schema
How do I search production logs to debug errors quickly?

Search production logs using the solarwinds-logs skill with time-range, severity, program, hostname, and id filters via CLI. Query DealerVision logs through the SolarWinds Observability API to diagnose errors, exceptions, and performance issues in seconds instead of hours.

What authentication and setup do I need to query SolarWinds production logs?

Querying SolarWinds logs requires the logs CLI tool, .NET SDK 10.0 or later, and a SOLARWINDS_API_TOKEN environment variable. These prerequisites enable authenticated API access to retrieve structured log data with JSON output and optional payload details.

Can I retrieve full log entry details and filter by multiple criteria?

Yes. The skill supports per-entry detail retrieval, id-based log lookup, and pagination for large result sets. Filter by time-range, severity, program, hostname, and id, then use --with-data and --output-file options to export complete structured JSON payloads.

How do I investigate service health and verify deployments using logs?

Apply the skill to service health checks and deployment verification by querying logs across services within defined time ranges. Search for specific error patterns, severity levels, and hostnames to confirm deployment success and isolate service degradation.

What log filtering options are available for production troubleshooting?

The skill filters logs by time-range, severity level, program name, hostname, and entry id. Combine filters to narrow investigations by service, error type, and timeframe, then retrieve complete context with optional JSON data payloads for root-cause analysis.
