Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {PROJECT-ID} is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. This page uses the more familiar term group when referring to descriptions. The endpoint remains as stated in the document.

When you create a log collection job, Cloud Manager starts a background job to download the logs from the specified Cloud Manager deployment. Use this endpoint to download a .tar.gz file stream for all logs associated with the specified job.

You can download logs from both successful and failed log collection jobs. If the job failed, all successful components are downloaded. The logs are downloaded to the same directory where the request is executed, and in the same format used when downloading logs through the Cloud Manager UI.

Example

hostname/
automation_agent/
Automation-agent-verbose.log.2019-01-...
mongos/
...
myShard_1/
27017/
...
27018/
...

You cannot download logs from jobs in the EXPIRED or IN_PROGRESS states.
