Specify the time, service and symptom to narrow the search.
Avoid copying an entire log into chat. Ask AI to locate the incident window and error signature in an allowed log folder.
On VPS, find 502 errors in allowed logs between 14:00 and 14:20. Show nearby events and propose a hypothesis without restarting services.

Compare application errors and surrounding entries without modifying logs.
Ask the AI to separate log evidence from assumptions about the cause.

Logs may contain personal data and secrets. Allow only relevant logs and do not ask AI to display tokens or passwords.
Specify the device time zone and incident time. When comparing logs, confirm timestamps are comparable.
Check filenames and rotation dates. Compressed archives may need a local tool and terminal permission.
Accessible text files only need file tools and an allowed path.
Get a diagnosis first. Changes and restarts require suitable permissions and explicit instructions.
Check local read roots and OS user permissions for that log.
Choose a working folder and AI client. Add writes and terminal access as your task requires.
