Container logs now show your Worker and Durable Object logs side by side!
Hey there, it's me! Today I found a small but genuinely handy update for anyone who loves digging through logs. Let me tell you about it!
Cloudflare ChangelogWhat was announced?
This one comes from Cloudflare's Changelog, and it's about the Containers logs page.
The logs page that used to only show Container logs now also displays the relevant Worker and Durable Object logs alongside them. That means all the log events tied to one container app show up together in a single place!
The story so far
Until now, you could see your Container logs on the logs page, but the logs from the Worker that handled the request, or the stateful Durable Object, lived somewhere else.
When you wanted to understand how a single request flowed through and got processed, you had to hop between different log views, which was a bit of a chore.
What changes
From now on, the Container, Worker, and Durable Object logs all show up together on one page. You can follow a request from start to finish in the same place.
When you're chasing a bug or figuring out where the time went, cutting down on all that screen switching is a real relief. Troubleshooting gets a nicer rhythm to it!
Dive Deep
Worried it'll all turn into a messy wall of logs? No need. You can filter by log source, so you can narrow things down to just Container, just Worker, or just Durable Object. View everything together or zoom in on one source, whatever you like.

Wrap-up
- The Container logs page now shows the relevant Worker and Durable Object logs side by side
- You can follow all the logs for a request in one place, making tracing and troubleshooting easier
- You can filter by source (Container / Worker / Durable Object) to focus on the logs you want
This is a quietly useful update for developers who pair Cloudflare Containers with Workers!
