Logs

Configuration > Logs (admins only) shows Athena's own recent log activity right in the app - no need to run docker logs just to check whether something's working.

What it shows

Every log line Athena writes anywhere - a device reconnecting, an automation running, a voice satellite starting a turn, a background sync failing - is tagged with a timestamp, a severity (Debug/Info/Warn/Error), and which part of Athena it came from (e.g. mqttapi, voice_assistant, backup). The page shows the most recent 5000 lines, filterable by minimum severity, by that component tag, and by a free-text search across the message and component. It refreshes automatically every few seconds - toggle "Auto-refresh" off if you're mid-read and don't want the table moving under you.

Downloading

Download full log saves the real file on disk exactly as it is (every rotated generation, oldest first) - the most complete history available, not limited to the page's own 5000-line view. Download selected range instead exports just a chosen From/Until window (plus whatever severity/component/search filters are active) as its own self-contained text file, built from the same in-memory activity the table reads from - so a range reaching further back than that in-memory window won't have anything to export from, even though "Download full log" would still have it.

Where it comes from

This page reads from an in-memory buffer of Athena's own most recent activity, kept automatically the whole time it runs - nothing to turn on. A small rotating copy is also kept on disk (capped at a few tens of megabytes across three generations) so recent history survives a container restart too, not just what's happened since the process last started.
