BREAKING: Cloudflare Container Logs Disruption – What You Need to Know

Status: Investigating | Severity: MINOR | Time Posted: NOW

---

1. What's Down & Who's Affected

Cloudflare is currently experiencing issues with Container Logs functionality. This primarily impacts:

  • Cloudflare Workers users relying on real-time log streaming
  • Pages Functions deployments with logging dependencies
  • Log tailing via Wrangler CLI and dashboard
  • Historical log retrieval and analytics dashboards
  • What's NOT affected: Your deployed services, edge routing, DNS, DDoS protection, and live request handling are operating normally. Only *observability* is partially compromised.

    ---

    2. Immediate Workarounds (RIGHT NOW)

    A. Use Alternate Log Aggregation

    ```bash

    If you're running Workers:

    Temporarily route logs to your own infrastructure

    const response = await fetch('https://your-log-endpoint.com', { method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify({timestamp, message, level}) }) ```

    B. Local Development Debugging

    ```bash

    Use Wrangler local mode instead of live tailing

    wrangler dev --local

    Logs will appear in your terminal without Cloudflare dependency

    ```

    C. Browser Console Fallback

    For Pages Functions:
  • Deploy a simple /debug endpoint that returns recent logs from your application state
  • Access via yoursite.com/debug temporarily
  • D. Email Alerts Instead

  • Disable real-time dashboard monitoring
  • Configure email alerts for errors via your application code
  • Example: catch errors and POST to a simple webhook service
  • ---

    3. Check If Your Project Is Affected

    You're affected if:

  • You depend on Wrangler's tail command: wrangler tail
  • You monitor logs via Cloudflare Dashboard β†’ Workers β†’ Logs tab
  • You use real-time log streaming APIs
  • Quick test: ```bash wrangler tail --format json

    If this hangs or returns errors, you're affected

    ```

    You're probably fine if:

  • You only deploy Workers and don't actively monitor logs
  • Your error handling routes to external services (Sentry, LogRocket, etc.)
  • You're using Pages without Functions
  • ---

    4. Alternative Tools to Consider (Short-term)

    | Tool | Best For | Setup Time | |------|----------|------------| | Axiom.co (free tier) | Log aggregation | 5 min | | Logtail.com | Real-time streaming | 3 min | | Sentry | Error tracking | 10 min | | Datadog (free tier) | Comprehensive monitoring | 15 min | | Your own Durable Objects | Self-hosted logs | 20 min |

    Fastest setup: Use Axiom (free 25GB/month) with a 3-line Worker integration.

    5. How to Monitor Recovery

    Official Status

  • Check status.cloudflare.com every 5 minutes
  • Filter for "Container Logs" or "Workers Logs" updates
  • Self-Test (every 10 min)

    ```bash

    Try this command:

    wrangler tail --format json --limit 1

    You'll see success when it returns recent logs

    ```

    Community Updates

  • Cloudflare Discord: #workers-general
  • This page will be updated with status changes
  • Subscribe to @CloudflareStatus on Twitter

    Bottom Line

    Your apps are still running. You just can't see the logs right now. This is a visibility issue, not an availability issue.

    Implement one of the workarounds above, stay calm, and we'll update you when Cloudflare resolves this.

    Estimated recovery: Check back in 1-2 hours.
