Hey @psgcoud,

There isn’t a way to download the complete log via the App Platform UI directly. However, there are a few workarounds for this:

You can use doctl CLI. The doctl apps logs command allows you to retrieve the component logs for a specific deployment of an app:

Alternatively, you can forward application runtime logs to external log management providers. This allows you to use the provider to search, index and retain the logs:

If you would still like to see this implemented as a feature, the best thing to do to get your voice heard regarding this would be to head over to our Product Ideas board and post a new idea, including as much information as possible for what you’d like to see implemented.
