# Log Exports Now Include Improved Package Lifecycle Visibility

Client log exports now provide a more comprehensive overview of package delivery. In addition to GET requests, client log exports will include other HTTP request types, including HEAD, POST, and OPTIONS requests. This gives you a full view of package delivery, moving beyond just download tracking to include metadata checks and other repository interactions.

### What's new?

The additional HTTP methods appear in the method column of your existing export files, but the file format and your ingestion process remain the same.

This expanded view helps you track repository interactions in detail and analyze costs more accurately by factoring in all request types.
