Logs

n8n executors write step-level logs during execution.

Log location

/logs/job_{job_id}/{step_id}/{STEP_TYPE}.log

Examples:

/logs/job_4/build_copc/BUILD_COPC.log
/logs/job_4/reproject/REPROJECT_LAS.log
/logs/job_4/build_ept/BUILD_EPT.log
/logs/job_4/dataset_info/DATASET_INFO.log

Log contents

Logs capture the output of the underlying tool (PDAL, Entwine, PotreeConverter, GDAL) during step execution. Useful for diagnosing failures, understanding processing time, or verifying tool behavior.

Step detailing

Ordo has a job_step_detailing table that stores optional structured log/progress records per step. This is populated by n8n executors that support it and can be queried to get finer-grained progress information beyond the step status fields.
