Tips

Use --service when you don’t know (or don’t want to specify) the type of your service. Qovery will try each API (application, container, database, job) until it finds a match. Use a specific flag (--application, --database, etc.) if you want to target a precise service type.

Use --follow to monitor logs in real-time during deployments or debugging.

Combine --filter with error levels like “ERROR”, “WARN”, “FATAL” to quickly find issues.

The --since flag accepts: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days).
