Third party integrations

I’m trying to put together automated AI log management. Using the AI Task
It seems previous posts method are not possible anymore.
Accessing the log files via shell_command:
Not supported anymore
REST_API: /api/error_log REST API | Home Assistant Developer Docs Gives 404 error not found. and does not seem to work even if listed as part of official integration.

Simply using shell command “ha core logs” does not work when runnning as an automation for me.

How can I get the logs piped into AI task in 2026?

They reinstated the option to bring back the logs a couple of months after the removal. Not sure if that will also give you back access to the shell_command. Follow these steps & have a look.

Thanks, I’m not really looking to get the log files back, just a sensible way to read them. I might look into it though.
