Where are "Alert" logs?

Configuration

Hi, folks,

I created a very simple alert Alert - Home Assistant (home-assistant.io). It’s pretty much a copy of the example in the page, but it doesn’t work.

I also cannot find any logs. Where should I be looking for these logs?

Thanks

Settings → System → Logs

There is no “Alert” log. But the Home Assistant Core logs should show any errors that occurred.

Thanks, Tom.

Hm, ok, my alert didn’t work due to the fact I used the wrong notify entity, but there was nothing in the logs, just a quiet phone :frowning: . I managed to find the error by trial but it would be better having some decent logs somewhere…

Well if it was a valid service it’s not an error and won’t be logged unless you change the logging level to “debug”. This is very chatty and not recommended for long term use.

Thanks - I was hoping for logs similarly to automations where also successfully triggered automations leave logs.

You mean traces?

No that is not available for Alerts.
