# PostgreSQL TimescaleDB cluster logs

The [Logs](/logs/) service is used for logging. Learn more about how the service works and its pricing in the [Logs service description](/logs/about/about-logs.mdx) article. You can check the availability of the Logs service by location in the [Logs availability by location](/logs/about/logs-availability-by-location.mdx).

For a PostgreSQL TimescaleDB Managed Database cluster, events in the PostgreSQL databases and the PgBouncer connection pooler are logged.

To collect cluster logs in the Logs service, you need to [enable logging](#enable-logs). [You can retrieve logs](#get-logs) in the Control Panel using API requests or via [AWS CLI](/logs/tools/aws-cli.mdx). If you no longer need to collect logs, you can [disable logging](#disable-logs).

Logs are stored for 30 days.

Read more about PostgreSQL database logging in the [Error Reporting and Logging](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-logging.html) PostgreSQL documentation.

## Enable logging \{#enable-logs}

<EnableLogs DatabaseName="PostgreSQL TimescaleDB" slug="timescaledb" ArticleName="Monitoring of the cluster, nodes and databases PostgreSQL TimescaleDB" />

## Get logs \{#get-logs}

Use the [Get logs](/logs/manage/get-logs.mdx) instruction in the Logs section.

для кластера Managed Database для PostgreSQL TimescaleDB будут созданы потоки событий `postgresql.log-<instance_id>` and `pgbouncer.log-<instance_id>`, где `<instance_id>` – идентификатор ноды кластера PostgreSQL TimescaleDB.

See the description of [log fields](#fields) for the PostgreSQL cluster.
