AI Log Summary
Introduction
AI Log Summary is a feature of Maia Operate that provides an AI-generated overview of your application's log activity for a single Mendix environment. By analyzing the previous 24 hours of log data, it generates a summary of error patterns, application lifecycle events, and security signals, giving you a quick operational overview without the need to manually download or review raw log files.
Summaries are generated on demand and are intended to help identify areas that may require further investigation. They provide a starting point for troubleshooting and should be used alongside the underlying log data, not as a replacement for it.
Prerequisites
To use AI Log Summary, you must have Access to Monitoring permission for the environment. For more information, refer to Node Permissions.
Generating a Log Summary
To generate an AI Log Summary:
- Open your app in Mendix Cloud.
- In the Overview tab, locate the target environment.
- Click Explain.
Analysis typically takes 10–30 seconds. AI Log Summary displays a progress indicator while the analysis is running.
Understanding the Log Summary
When the AI analysis is complete, the summary opens in a read-only window. It is presented in plain language, which can be copied for use in tickets or documentation. It includes the following sections:
- Status overview – a snapshot of application health, including uptime, total error count and security events
- Timeline of events – a chronological view of significant lifecycle events, such as startup and shutdown events, critical errors, deployments, and configuration changes
- Error analysis – errors grouped by pattern, with occurrence counts and the timeframe in which they appeared
- Security signals – patterns in HTTP access logs that may indicate unusual activity, such as repeated failed authentication attempts or suspected probes
Data Handling
Log retention follows the existing log retention policies for your environment, independent of this feature. For more information, refer to the Rotation and Retention Schedule section of Logs.
