# iai agents logs

Show logs for an agent

## Synopsis

Show logs for an agent in a project.

Returns up to 5000 log entries in chronological order.

Structured (JSON) logs are automatically formatted: the level and message fields are extracted and displayed as "LEVEL message". Use --fields or --all-fields to include additional top-level fields after the message. Use --raw for exact server JSON, or --decode to decode embedded JSON strings into nested JSON values.

Examples: iai agents logs my-agent iai agents logs my-agent --follow iai agents logs my-agent --since 30m iai agents logs my-agent --start-time 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z --end-time 2026-01-01T01:00:00Z

```
