# Quickstart: Live Server Log Streaming
## Enable the feature
```csharp
services.AddElsa(elsa =>
{
elsa.UseServerLogStreaming(options =>
{
options.RecentLogCapacity = 5_000;
options.MaxRecentLogQuerySize = 1_000;
options.SourceHeartbeatTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30);
});
});
```
## Map the hub
```csharp
app.UseServerLogStreaming();
```
This maps `/elsa/hubs/server-logs` and any REST endpoints under the configured Elsa API prefix.
## Authorize users
Grant operational users the `read:server-logs` permission.
## Validate locally
1. Start Elsa Server with the feature enabled.
2. Open Elsa Studio with the paired Studio module installed.
3. Emit an `ILogger` message from the server.
4. Verify it appears in Studio's Server Logs page.
5. Change the level filter to `Warning` and verify lower-level logs are hidden.
## Validation Notes
- `dotnet test test/unit/Elsa.ServerLogs.UnitTests/Elsa.ServerLogs.UnitTests.csproj --no-restore` passes with 22 server logs tests.
- `dotnet build src/modules/Elsa.ServerLogs/Elsa.ServerLogs.csproj --no-restore` passes.
- `dotnet restore src/apps/Elsa.Server.Web/Elsa.Server.Web.csproj` passes.
- `dotnet build src/apps/Elsa.Server.Web/Elsa.Server.Web.csproj --no-restore` passes.
- `dotnet test test/integration/Elsa.ServerLogs.IntegrationTests/Elsa.ServerLogs.IntegrationTests.csproj --no-restore` passes with 4 server logs smoke tests.
- The commands currently report existing repository warnings, including `NU1903` for `Snappier` and nullable/analyzer warnings in unrelated modules.
## Clustered deployments
The in-memory provider shows logs for the current process only. For merged multi-pod logs, configure a future shared provider that implements `IServerLogProvider`; Studio continues to use the same API and hub contracts.
