# Pipeline Logs

Pipeline logs give you detailed visibility into a pipeline run. They’re where you go to **debug** a failure, **audit** what happened, and follow the **step-by-step execution** of each stage.

## Where to find them

You can open logs from either the **pipeline list** page or the **pipeline details** page, via the **Logs** tab. Once in the logs view, use the drop-down on the left-hand panel to switch between stages — Prepare, Build, Unit testing, Package vulnerability scanning, and Deploy each produce their own logs for that run.

Logs for a pipeline stage

Heads up

Logs are retained per your plan’s **retention policy**, counted from the pipeline’s trigger date. Once they age out they’re no longer available, so download anything you need to keep.

For logs from your running application (rather than a pipeline run), see [Logs](https://salus.cloud/docs/observability/logs/) under Observability.
