Observability
Logs
Logs are timestamped records of events emitted by software or infrastructure. CI logs often contain commands, output, and errors, but effective diagnosis also requires enough context to associate each record with its job and step.
Also known as: log output
Why it matters
Event details help explain failures that aggregate measurements cannot identify.
Practical example
Preserve the failing command's output and job identifier when reporting an intermittent failure.
