Viewing Error Logs

RDS log management allows you to view database-level logs, including error logs and slow SQL query logs.

Error logs contain warning- and error-level logs generated during the database running. These can help you analyze problems with the database.

Viewing Log Details

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.
  3. Click Service List. Under Database, click Relational Database Service. The RDS console is displayed.
