How do I inspect a processing run?
Click a row in the logs table. Fetch Hive opens the run detail sheet. The sheet shows the run status, request details, cost and token usage, related completions, and any error message for a failed run. When trace data is available, the detail sheet includes a waterfall timeline for the processing run. Select spans such as document loading, website scraping, PII removal, chunking, or embedding to inspect timing, metadata, request details, and related completion output. If the related knowledge base or item still exists, the detail sheet links back to that knowledge base or item editor. Use the detail sheet when you need to understand why processing failed, which step took time, how many tokens it used, or which item generated the run.Notes
- Logs are for processing runs, not every search query.
- Date range availability can depend on your workspace plan.
- Document uploads can also appear in the Media library as account assets.
- Workflow writes can create knowledge base items. See Write to Knowledge Base for the workflow path.
