When you deploy your website to Esadax, the platform generates build logs that show the deployment progress. These logs are particularly useful for debugging issues that may arise during deployment.

What are build logs?

Build logs contain information about:

  • The version of the build tools
  • Warnings or errors encountered during the build process
  • Details about files and dependencies installed, compiled, or built during deployment

These logs help identify the root cause of deployment failures.


How build logs work?

  • Build logs are generated at build time for all Deployments.
  • The logs resemble your framework's Build Command output but include additions from Esadax's build system.
  • Once a build is complete, no new logs will be recorded.

In addition to build actions:

  • Errors are highlighted in red.
  • Warnings are highlighted in yellow.

Link to build logs

  1. Click the Build Logs button on the production deployment tile in the projects overview page.
  2. View build logs for your Esadax deployments.

Each log entry has a timestamp. Clicking it provides a link to the specific log entry, highlighted with #L6 as an anchor.

  • Hold the Shift key and click timestamps to create links for multiple lines (e.g., #L6-L9).
  • Links are only accessible to team members with valid Esadax accounts.

Save logs

  • Use configurable log drains to export, store, and analyze build logs.
  • Log drains can be configured through the Esadax dashboard or logging integrations.
