Logs

Column Shows
Date When the step happened.
Level info, warning, error, or debug when debug logging is on.
Stage The part of the work: policy (the decision), download, snapshot, install, verify, rollback, email, system.
Run The run number. Click it to see only that run, from start to finish.
Extension The extension the step was about.
Message What happened. Details opens the technical data, for example which checks passed.

Reading one run from the bottom up tells the full story of an update: download, snapshot started, snapshot complete, installing, installed, verification, result, email sent.

Old entries are deleted after the days set in Settings → General → Keep Logs, or by hand with the purge control at the bottom (Super Users). Turn on Settings → Advanced → Debug Logging when you need more detail, including the output of extension install scripts.
