View Odoo Logs

Logs let you see what your Odoo instance is doing — useful for debugging errors, monitoring deployments, and diagnosing performance issues.

Access logs​

  1. Go to your project and open the Deployments tab.
  2. Find the deployment you want to inspect.
  3. Click Details on the deployment.

The Details page exposes four log files:

Log fileWhat it contains
odoo.logLive output of the running Odoo server: HTTP requests, errors, cron jobs, tracebacks
install.logOutput from the initial Odoo installation for this deployment
update.logOutput from module updates (-u all) run during deployments
tests.logOutput from automated test runs

Which log to look at​

  • Deployment just failed → check install.log or update.log depending on whether it was a fresh install or an update.
  • Runtime error in Odoo (500 error, broken view, etc.) → check odoo.log.
  • Test failures → check tests.log.

Tips for reading logs​

Look for tracebacks — Python errors show as multi-line tracebacks ending with the exception type and message. Search for Traceback to jump to them quickly.

Filter by log level — Odoo logs at DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, and CRITICAL. Focus on WARNING and above to spot problems quickly.

Module errors in update.log — XML parsing errors, missing fields, and failed migrations surface here as lines containing odoo.modules.

Cron errors in odoo.log — Scheduled actions that fail silently log their errors here. Look for odoo.addons lines at ERROR level.
