Prefect Community

Hi, Is it possible to access a flow run's logs through prefect python code?

the easiest is when you trigger your flow from the CLI
```prefect run --id flow-uuid --watch```

Hey <@U02A7BQF716>, are you trying to run this in a notebook? or through a Python script?

I was trying to access logs to a previous run, but the above command run a flow instead. Yes its run as a python code.

You can try hitting the GraphQL API with something like this for the flow run
```query {
	flow_run{
    logs {
      message
    }
  }
}```

I was also thinking of switching to writing logs to a file rather than logging in Prefect as it can only keep 2 weeks of history. Do you know if there is an easy to switch it in Prefect?

Thanks for the graphql snippet, will try that out
