# Client log exports now include metadata requests, not just downloads

Client log exports now contain the format-specific metadata requests your toolchain makes, so you can see the full request chain behind a download. [Client logs in the web app already show these requests](/changelog/client-logs-now-show-the-full-request-chain-behind-a-package-download), and exports now match.

Metadata requests use the existing log structure.

With format-specific metadata, export volume will increase. A single install can generate several metadata requests per package, so expect more rows than before. If you have questions about this change, [contact us](/company/contact-us).

Log exports are available on Ultra and Enterprise plans. For more details, see [Log exports to Azure](https://docs.cloudsmith.com/logs-and-observability/exports-to-azure) and [Log exports to S3](https://docs.cloudsmith.com/logs-and-observability/access-log-exports-to-s3) in the Cloudsmith documentation.
