}| Component | Purpose | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
console.log | Basic logging | Development, debugging |
| Tail Workers | Real-time log streaming | Production log aggregation |
| Analytics Engine | Custom metrics/analytics | Business metrics, performance tracking |
| Logpush | Log export to external services | Long-term storage, compliance |
| Workers Trace Events | Distributed tracing | Request flow debugging |
| Error | Symptom | Prevention |
|---|---|---|
| Logs not appearing | No output in dashboard | Enable "Standard" logging in wrangler.jsonc |
| Log truncation | Messages cut off at 128KB | Chunk large payloads, use sampling |
| Tail Worker not receiving | No events processed | Check binding name matches wrangler.jsonc |
| Analytics Engine write fails | Data not recorded | Verify AE binding, check blobs format |
| PII in logs | Security/compliance violation | Implement redaction middleware |
| Missing request context | Can't correlate logs | Add requestId to all log entries |
| Log volume explosion | High costs, noise | Implement sampling for high-frequency events |
| Alerting gaps | Incidents not detected | Configure monitors for error rate thresholds |
