Access Logs

Access logs contain all incoming HTTP requests to your application. For the output of the application itself, see Logs.

It contains all incoming HTTP requests to your application. You can see access logs with the following command:

clever accesslogs

As with the logs command, you can specify --before and --after flags. If you don’t specify any options, the logs display continuously.

To change the output, specify the --format (-F) flag with one of these values:

• human (default): a human-readable, colored table

  2026-06-24T08:05:43.880Z   255.255.255.255   FR/Nantes   200   GET  /

• clf: Common Log Format

  255.255.255.255 - - [24/Jun/2026:08:05:43 +0000] "GET /" 200 562

  The HTTP protocol version isn’t part of the access log payload, so the request line is limited to method path (no HTTP/x.y token).

• json: a JSON array of log objects (requires a bounding flag such as --before)

• json-stream: a stream of JSON log objects

  Both JSON formats share the same object shape:
