# Logs Histogram, Fractional Template Kickbacks, Plugin Migration Reminder

Let’s talk about logs, logs, logs.

We love ‘em! We need ‘em! We can’t get enough of ‘em!

This week we’ve shipped a beautiful new logs histogram to the Observability tab plus a few other goodies we’d love to tell you about. 

Let’s go!

## Logs Histogram

We’ve updated the Observability tab to include a histogram of log activity. 

This feature is extremely handy for visualizing and introspecting log activity over a period of time.

Logs are presented as a stacked column chart with warnings separated out from informational logs. In addition, new time windows may be selected by dragging your mouse across the columns.

Since this feature shipped straight to General Availability, it’s already available in the Railway project canvas.

Enjoy!

## Fractional Template Kickbacks

[Image: Template kickbacks are now awarded down to $0.01]

Did you know that the Railway [Template Kickback](https://railway.app/open-source-kickback) program provides cash compensation for creating public templates on Railway? 

Well it does and the program is growing quickly. There are now [more than 300 templates](https://railway.app/templates) in the template library and template creators are getting paid-out for their work daily.

Whereas previously you needed to reach a threshold of earnings to get paid out, this week we shipped a change to pay out all template creators regardless of dollar amount.

We hope this lowers the barrier to contributing!

For more information, [read the docs](https://docs.railway.app/reference/templates).

## Plugin Migration Reminder

As we’ve [mentioned](https://railway.app/changelog/2023-11-03-plugin-migration-priority-boarding#plugin-migration-pb) a couple of times now, [The Future of Databases is Services](https://blog.railway.app/p/launch-01-next-gen-databases). 

Since Plugins will be deprecated on January 31, 2024, we’d like to remind you once again to check out the migration guide:

- [Migrating from Legacy Plugins to Database Services](https://docs.railway.app/guides/database-migration-guide)

We’ve also created a new thread in the [Community Forum](https://community.railway.app/) to address any issues that crop up during migration:

- [Plugin Migration community thread](https://community.railway.app/discuss/thread/plugin-migration-0f61c57d)

Jump on the Community Forum and let us know if you have any questions. 

We’re here to help!
