Actor observability

Observe StatefulActor types with runtime and invocation logs, and request/resource metrics.

Edge Compute provides visibility into StatefulActor execution through actor logs and actor metrics. Use the CLI for day-to-day debugging; both commands accept a type name or id (resolved like actors inspect) and read a fixed window of history — read-only reports, not live streams.

What you can observe

Area	What it tells you	CLI
Runtime logs	The console.log/error output your method bodies write	telnyx-edge actors logs <type> --type runtime
Invocation logs	One platform-generated record per method call (auto-RPC, fetch(), alarm()): instance, method, outcome, duration	telnyx-edge actors logs <type> --type invocations
Metrics	Request counts and success/error rates, latency, request/response bytes, CPU, memory, and stored state size	telnyx-edge actors metrics <type>

Both commands require CLI v0.5.8 or newer.

Function-level observability — for the functions that hold the actor bindings — lives in Edge Compute observability: function logs, function metrics, deployment history, and health checks. Actor types themselves have no deployment lifecycle to inspect; their runtime hosts are managed by the platform.
