Runtime logs not showing for any of my projects

[souporcereal]

I need to view Vercel runtime logs to debug why my server action isn’t grabbing fresh data each request (works on localhost/dev)

The runtime logs don’t show anything for any of my projects.

Attached screenshots, in-order, of a barebones build that calls console.log before any possible error.

Thank you.

Hi, and welcome to the Vercel Community @souporcereal!

That is odd! Did you get logs before, or did this just happen recently?

One thing to check is caching, I noticed a community member in the past had a similar problem and the root cause was caching. Below are some relevant docs which may be helpful.

Caching on Vercel's Edge Network

I’m not receiving runtime logs and haven’t seen any in the past either. Although I’ve never needed them until now, they are essential for my current needs.

I’m enjoying Vercel and plan to continue using and promoting it, but this issue needs to be resolved. Please take any necessary actions on your end to fix this problem. If it can be resolved, I’m willing to subscribe to the Pro plan, as this issue is beyond my control and cannot be fixed on my end.

I totally hear you!

Absolutely happy to help you out here. Did you check caching as I shared above?

Did you check caching as I shared above?

Changed my next.config to no-store+revalidate, also directly changed the response headers and updated to using server-side fetch (textbook).

…After further testing, using proper server components (server-side fetch) AND server actions (same fetch called from client to see if data changes) - they always return the same data (different clients too). This issue is only on production.
I’m guessing that my no-cache settings are being overridden?
Maybe a server-side SQLite error in production-only that I can’t see because my Vercel runtime logs aren’t working?

If I had access to the runtime logs, this would be much easier.

Have you heard anything about my runtime logs not showing

I’ve been self-learning Next.js and using Vercel throughout the summer semester, frequently promoting Vercel whenever I mention a project (proof#1, proof#2). My experience was positive until I encountered an issue that I couldn’t resolve, which I believe is on your end.

After opening a support ticket, I was informed that posting here is the only way to get help.

When I uploaded my project to Netlify, the runtime logs worked instantly, and I resolved the issue within minutes—after spending days trying to get Vercel to address my lack of runtime logs.

Moving forward, if Vercel can’t fix the fact that my runtime logs are not showing, I won’t feel comfortable relying on a hosting provider that doesn’t respond to requests for assistance.

Hi, @souporcereal!

I understand your frustration. Thank you for coming back with details on what you’ve tried.

It does sound like a bug – I’ve shared this with the team internally and will loop back with any updates. It is likely that we’ll get back to you on Monday!

Thank you for your continued patience

Hi @pawlean!
I’m not creating a new post in the community, as I’m having the same issue as @souporcereal and I see that you’re active on this topic here.

Well, I don’t have any clues on what could be going on… I’ve read the Vercel guides about Runtime logs (Runtime Logs), and all seems to be “normal” in my project, but there aren’t any Runtime Logs from it.

No matter what presets I tried, tried the option to watching live logs… Nothing there.

I was expecting to see something like the picture you have on the guide article:

Nor do I have anything similar to what this other Vercel user has:

This is all that appears in my screen, again, no matter if quitting or adding filtering presets:

Just a few more details to add, Web Analytics and Speed Insights appear as not enabled, although that’s not the case for Runtime logs, which makes me think they should be appearing:

Lastly, I checked for Log Drains and I don’t have any, I’m not sure if that might have something to do with it:

That’s the first time that I’ve tried to look out for them, so I can’t tell if they’ve appeared anytime before. The project has been running for around 1.5 months.

I will apreciate any help on how to solve that and finally be able to check that

Thanks in advance!

Hi @vercelverificaciones @souporcereal!

Thanks for your patience!

We currently only display functions logs, and not static logs at the moment.

However, I’ve shared this feedback to the team internally and will loop back with any updates.
