List branch log fields

API Reference / Logs / List branch log fields

Lists the low-cardinality log fields observed on this branch whose distinct values can be discovered with the log field-values endpoint.

The set is computed per branch and grows as new fields are observed, so treat it as data rather than a fixed list: discover a field here, then pass it as field_name to the field-values endpoint.

Note: This endpoint is currently in Private Beta.

  • project_id (string, path, required) The Neon project ID
  • branch_id (string, path, required) The Neon branch ID

Tool: list_log_fields

List the log fields whose values list_log_field_values can enumerate for a branch. The endpoint currently returns service_name, severity_text, scope_name, and entity_type. Call this tool instead of hardcoding that set so clients remain compatible if the endpoint adds fields. Fields without a structured query_logs input can be filtered through raw logql.

  • projectId (string, optional) The ID of the project. Defaults to your only project if unambiguous.
  • branchId (string, optional) The ID of the branch. Defaults to the project's default branch.

404 Logs are not available for this branch, or the project/branch was not found. The body is always ProjectBranchLogsNotAvailable — see reason for the exact cause.

  • code (string, required)

  • message (string, required)

  • reason (string, required) Machine-readable reason why logs cannot be read:

    • branch_not_found: the project or branch does not exist, or the caller does not have access to it.
    • telemetry_not_enabled: the branch exists but is not collecting telemetry, so it has no logs to serve.

    Possible values: branch_not_found, telemetry_not_enabled

default General Error.

The request may or may not be safe to retry, depending on the HTTP method, response status code, and whether a response was received.

  • If no response is returned from the API, a network error or timeout likely occurred.
  • In some cases, the request may have reached the server and been successfully processed, but the response failed to reach the client. As a result, retrying non-idempotent requests can lead to unintended results.

The following HTTP methods are considered non-idempotent: POST, PATCH, DELETE, and PUT. Retrying these methods is generally not safe. The following methods are considered idempotent: GET, HEAD, and OPTIONS. Retrying these methods is safe in the event of a network error or timeout.

Any request that returns a 503 Service Unavailable response is always safe to retry.

Any request that returns a 423 Locked response is safe to retry. 423 Locked indicates that the resource is temporarily locked, for example, due to another operation in progress.

  • request_id (string, optional) Unique identifier for the request, useful for debugging. You can set this value manually by including an X-Request-ID header in the request. If not provided, the value will be generated automatically.

  • code (string, required) Machine-readable code classifying the error type. See message for a human-readable explanation. Default: ``

  • message (string, required) Error message
