# Improved observability with Application Logs

A new [**Logs**](https://dashboard.clerk.com/~/application-logs) page has been introduced into the Clerk Dashboard meant to give increased visibility into the Clerk-driven events across your applications. _Application Logs_ track things like sign-ins, sign-ups, user updates, organization changes, billing events, [and many more](https://clerk.com/docs/guides/dashboard/logs/application-logs.md) — enabling more detailed debugging and improved observability for your business.

## Filtering and search

The logs page displays a reverse-chronological feed of events and you can narrow results using filters:

- **Event type** — Filter by event type (e.g., `user.created`, `sign_in.completed`). Supports trailing wildcards (e.g., `sign_in.*`).
- **Actor** — Filter by the user or API key that triggered the event.
- **Subject** — Filter by the resource ID being acted upon (e.g., a user ID or organization ID).
- **Trace ID** — Correlate events across systems using a distributed trace ID.
- **Device** — Filter by device ID.
- **Date range** — Scope results to a specific time window.

Select any log entry to view its full details, including event metadata and a JSON payload containing additional information related to the event.

## Get started

Application Logs are available for all plans with varying levels of retention; see our [pricing page](https://clerk.com/pricing) for more details. You can access the [**Logs** view](https://dashboard.clerk.com/~/application-logs) today in the Clerk Dashboard or read the [full documentation](https://clerk.com/docs/guides/dashboard/logs/application-logs.md) to learn more.

### Going forward

App logs are just the start. We're hard at work on additional observability including Email, SMS, and Administrative logs for actions taken by your app's admins within the Clerk Dashboard and the new [Clerk CLI](https://clerk.com/cli). Stay tuned for more.
