How to make the most out of your Logs export

Here are some tips on how to get key meaningful insights from your export:

In the downloaded logs export, compare the createdAt and updatedAt columns
- createdAt indicates when an invocation has started
- updatedAt indicates the last event on an invocation
The time passed between the two timestamps will showcase the length of an invocation
