# Log stream
> This section explains how to create log stream dashboard elements and add them to your dashboard.
export const elementName_0 = "log stream"
export const elementButtonLabel_0 = "Log stream"
The log stream dashboard element displays your logs as they come in real-time. Each log appears as a separate line with various details. The benefit of a log stream is that it provides immediate visibility into your system’s operations. When you debug an issue or trying to understand an ongoing event, the log stream allows you to see exactly what’s happening as it occurs.
## Prerequisites
* [Create an Axiom account](https://app.axiom.co/register).
* [Create a dataset in Axiom](/reference/datasets) where you send your data.
* [Send data](/send-data/methods) to your Axiom dataset.
* [Create an empty dashboard](/dashboards/create).
## Create {elementName_0}
1. Go to the Dashboards tab and open the dashboard to which you want to add the {elementName_0}.
2. Click **Add element** in the top right corner.
3. Click **{elementButtonLabel_0}** from the list.
4. Choose one of the following:
* Click **Builder** to create your chart using a visual query builder. For more information, see [Create chart using visual query builder](/dashboard-elements/create#create-chart-using-visual-query-builder).
* Click **APL** to create your chart using the Axiom Processing Language (APL). Create a chart in the same way you create a chart in the [Editor of the Query tab](/query-data/query-editor).
5. Optional: [Configure the dashboard element](/dashboard-elements/configure).
6. Click **Save**.
The new element appears in your dashboard. At the bottom, click **Save** to save your changes to the dashboard.
## Example with Builder

```kusto theme={null}
