The Run Log shows profile status changes and task/action execution to help when things aren't working as expected. Log entries will only be recorded when the log is enabled by the switch in the top right.
Items are colour-coded according to what they refer to:
Most items are long-clickable for options e.g. to view the corresponding item from the user configuration.
Displays the thing which the entry refers to. For example, MyTask.Wait
refers to a Wait action in
the task MyTask.
Some notable details are:
System
refers to a task created by Tasker, usually to restore a setting
when a profile deactivates.
Anon
refers to an anonymous task (has no name) which is the entry or exit task of
a profile.
Shows Tasker's internal ID for the thing which the entry refers to. This is most useful for actions e.g.
2.4
refers to the fourth action in the task with ID 2.
Some task or action ID entries may also have a number after a colon; since multiple copies
of a particular task can run at the same time, each task also receives
a unique execution ID to distinguish it from others with the same
data ID. The execution ID is shown with a colon e.g. a task with ID2:3
is the task with data ID 2 and execution ID 3.
Usually, the execution service will start up, run a task and then stop, so most tasks have execution ID 1. The Run Log doesn't show the execution ID in that case.
Describes the new status of whatever has changed which caused a log entry to be made. A status which is erronous (a problem occured) is displayed in red text.

Below the list of log entries are some filter controls.
Profiles, tasks and action entries are only shown if the corresponding button is toggled on.
If a filter text is entered in the text box, entries will only be displayed if they have text which matches the filter.
When an entry is excluded by the filter controls, it's shown as a small bar on the left side of the list.
