# View Execution Log of Agent OS

The Execution Log section in Agent OS helps you monitor the status of your automations and agents.

**Additional Resource:** Refer to the [Executions in Agent OS](/docs/agent-os/executions-in-agent-os) documentation to learn about the execution statuses.

To access **Execution Log**, [log into your Contentstack account](https://www.contentstack.com/login) and perform the following steps:

1.  After logging in, click the **App Switcher** icon, then select **Agent OS** from the list.![App\_switcher\_icon](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2d43f51baca745a8/blt6290d7afc992eda9/6998761148bd410008f0963f/App_switcher_icon.png)
2.  Open your project or [create](/docs/agent-os/managing-projects#create-a-project#create-a-project) a new one.
3.  From the top navigation panel, click **Settings**.![Settings\_Icon](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2d43f51baca745a8/blt54c29342b477e2fd/69987601a9de3800086c7925/Settings_Icon.png)
4.  Click **Execution Log** in the left navigation panel. You can view the executions for **Agents** and **Automations** by clicking the dropdown.![Agent\_automation\_dropdown](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2d43f51baca745a8/blt3c80c134cb3d8669/6998760163bcae00089104c6/Agent_automation_dropdown.png)
    
    On the listing page, you see the following columns:
    
    1.  **Name:** Displays the name of the automation or agent that was executed.
    2.  **Status:** Shows the final execution state (e.g., Success or Failed) or intermediate states (Running, Pending, Paused, and Rejected).
    3.  **Started At:** Indicates the date and time when the execution began.
    4.  **Duration:** Shows how long the execution took to complete.
    5.  **Connectors Used:** Indicates which connectors or services were used during the execution.
    6.  **Tools Used:** Indicates the tools used during the agent execution.
    
    **Note:** To view the log, you **must** execute an automation or agent.

5.  To view more details of a particular execution, click a specific log. You will see a time-wise distribution of each step.
    

**Execution steps**

The Execution Steps timeline shows every action performed during the run in chronological order, making it easy to trace agent behavior and identify performance bottlenecks.

**Agent execution detail includes:**

*   Step-by-step execution flow (for example, web search, content creation, message delivery)
*   **Metrics:**
    *   **Started At:** Shows the exact date and time when the execution began.
    *   **Duration:** Indicates how long the execution took to complete from start to finish.
    *   **Total Tokens:** Represents the total number of tokens consumed during the run, helping track usage and cost.
    *   **Model:** Identifies the AI model used to execute the task.
*   **Input and Output:**
    
    *   **Input:**
        *   Displays the exact prompt or instructions provided to the agent.
        *   Shown in JSON format for reproducibility.
    *   **Output:**
        *   Displays structured execution results in JSON format.
