investigating-logs
Investigate logs in a PostHog project: verify a service or deployment is healthy, explain an error spike, triage an incident, or understand what a log stream is saying. Use when the user asks to "check the logs", asks whether a service, deploy, release, or change is working or broke anything, asks why errors are up or what changed, or wants the root cause of failures visible in logs. Routes the logs MCP tools (services overview, pattern mining, before/after pattern diffing, bucketed counts, facets, raw rows) so investigations start from summaries instead of raw rows or hand-written SQL over the logs table.
