Logs

Logs in blocktorch are all the records of events and transactions and that occur within a decentralized application and its utilized services. The logs play a critical role in monitoring the service's health, troubleshooting issues, and understanding user activities.

The result of your logs query always include:

• Status: Logs are categorized by status levels such as EVENT, SUCCESS, REVERTED, FAILED. This helps in filtering logs based on relevance for your query.

• Timestamp: Each log entry includes a timestamp, indicating when the event occurred. This is crucial for tracking the order of events. In Blocktorch's free version everyone can access logs up to 7 days in the past. You can filter for specific time windows or also look at the logs as they are streamed live.

• Type: There are 4 types of logs blocktorch captures:

  • TRANSACTION: a transaction call is produced with any invoked transaction, and can result in logs of the other 3 types being produced

  • CALL: a call log is produced when a smart contract function is called

  • DELEGATE: a delegate log is produced when a caller contract executes code from another smart contract, that is especially the case when using proxy architecture

  • STATIC: a static call log is produced when a read function is invoked so there is no change to state

• Service/Contract: The contract message provides details about the smart contract / service that produced the log and which chain it has been triggered on

• Content: Additional context is given through information like the function name invoked, its transaction hash or the error message, if the smart contract ABI is unknown the signature will be anonymous

The pre-filtered logs for a specific smart contract can be found on the detail page of a smart contract by clicking your contract in the smart contract overview page
