The request log shows every request that reached your : method, host, path, status, how long it took, and which , , instance, and region served it. Headers, bodies, and query data are only saved when a logging policy asks for them, because they often contain secrets. Open a and click Requests to see it.
Requests page listing requests with time, region, status, method, and host, with one request open showing deployment information and request and response details

​
Why a request is missing

Only requests that reached your app are logged. These aren’t:
  • Requests rejected by a gateway policy. The caller got a 401, 403, 429, or 400, and your app never saw it.
  • Requests the gateway couldn’t route, such as an unknown hostname or a deployment with no running instances.
Errors after the request was forwarded, such as a timeout, are logged with the status the caller got. A request served in another region is logged there.

​
What each row has

​
What a logging policy adds

A logging policy can also save request headers (with the user agent and client IP), response headers, request and response bodies (up to 1 MiB each), and the query string. API keys are always redacted, so a saved request never contains a usable key.

​
Filter the log

Filters narrow the list and the charts above it. Click a row to see all of it, including any saved headers, bodies, and query data.

​
Retention and access

Rows are kept for 7 days, and the dashboard shows all of them. The analytics API can reach back 3 days on Starter and 7 on Pro and Business, because Business’s 14-day query range is longer than the rows are kept. A query that reaches further fails with err:user:bad_request:query_range_exceeds_retention. See Compute limits. Request counts and latency charts on Metrics go back further. To query rows with SQL, use the gateway_requests_v1 table. See Query gateway requests and runtime logs.
