Saxon FletcherandClaude Opus 5 32341830b3 docs: organize observability by task and move SQL logs to Explorer (#50074)
## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

Yes.

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Documentation update.

## What is the current behavior?

The observability overview and access page overlap; configuration
interrupts querying; related guides send log queries to the old editor.

## What is the new behavior?

The observability overview and navigation follow the same four sections:
Read project data, Detect and diagnose, Hire an agent, and Configure and
export. The overview absorbs the redundant access page, with permanent
redirects for both HTML and Markdown URLs.

“Query logs with SQL” owns ClickHouse querying through MCP, the
Management API, and Explorer with query source Logs. Logging
configuration moves to its own guide; sources, captured headers, and
limits live in the field reference. Inspection links to canonical
diagnostic SQL. Related Storage and database guides use the replacement
Explorer workflow and retain existing anchors where headings move.

## Additional context

Validation: Markdown generation, docs typecheck, targeted ESLint,
formatting, and content-listing tests. Browser overview/navigation
checked; old HTML and Markdown URLs return 308, and the new
configuration page returns 200 in both formats. Three ClickHouse
examples and the Postgres configuration query ran in a disposable
container sandbox. Changed pages have no MDX lint violations;
repository-wide existing failures remain.

Self-review: the Management API request was verified against its
published schema but not sent to a hosted project. Realtime ingestion
and hosted logging configuration still need a hosted smoke check. No
compatibility path for the deprecated logs engine is documented.

Stage 2 of 3; depends on stage 1.


Stack: #50073 → #50074 → #50075.

Production docs build also passes at the stack tip after standard
reference generation.

Maintainers

If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.

DocSpec

We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.

  • OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
  • SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
  • ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
  • CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.

The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
