# GetLogRecord
<a name="API_GetLogRecord"></a>

Retrieves all of the fields and values of a single log event. All fields are retrieved, even if the original query that produced the `logRecordPointer` retrieved only a subset of fields. Fields are returned as field name/field value pairs.

The full unparsed log event is returned within `@message`.
