```

The log ID is the 32-character hexadecimal identifier shown in log listings.

## Notes

* Organization and project context is required. If not provided explicitly, it's resolved from DSN detection or config defaults.
* Log entries are typically retained for 90 days in Sentry.
* The `-w` flag is useful for quickly jumping to the Sentry web UI for more context around the log entry.
* Use `sentry trace view <trace-id>` to see the full trace and span tree associated with this log entry.
