Logs

The Seekarr log viewer shows real-time output from the background hunt process. Navigate to Logs in the sidebar to access it.

What You'll See

Each log line includes a timestamp, log level, and message. Typical entries include:

  • Cycle start and end for each connected app
  • Items found missing or below quality cutoff
  • Search commands sent to each app
  • Queue size checks and pauses
  • State resets when the configured interval expires
  • API errors or connection failures

Log Levels

Level When it appears
INFO Normal operation — hunt cycle events, items processed, connection results.
WARNING Something unexpected but non-fatal — e.g. a missing state file, a queue pause.
ERROR A failure that prevented an action — e.g. API timeout, bad credentials, unreachable host.
DEBUG Full API request/response bodies. Only visible when Debug Mode is enabled in General Settings.

Log Files

Logs are also written to disk at /config/logs/ inside the container, so they persist across restarts. If the log viewer in the UI shows nothing, check that the /config/logs/ directory has correct permissions.

You can also view logs directly from Docker:

docker logs seekarr
docker logs seekarr --follow

Per-App Log Filtering

The log viewer lets you filter output to a single app (Sonarr, Radarr, etc.) or show all apps together. Use the filter dropdown at the top of the Logs page to narrow down what you see.
