Overview

List endpoint returns logs that match a log search query. Results are paginated.

Use this endpoint to search and filter your logs.

If you are considering archiving logs for your organization, consider use of the Datadog archive capabilities instead of the log list API. See Datadog Logs Archive documentation.

This endpoint requires the logs_read_data permission.
