Ahh, that does the trick.

### Code for prosperity

```python
from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway import IgnitionGateway
from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.logging import LogQueryConfig
	
loggingManager = IgnitionGateway.get().getLoggingManager()
	
queryFilter = LogQueryConfig.newBuilder().build()
	
logResults = loggingManager.queryLogEvents(queryFilter)
	
events = logResults.getEvents()
	
system.perspective.print(events)

```

I did notice this documentation error for the [LogQueryConfig](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.20/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/logging/LogQueryConfig.html) it states the following:

> A set of parameters for querying the logging system. Can be created by hand, or with LogQueryConfigBuilder.newBuilder() (the preferred method)

But it seems that the `newBuilder` method isn't valid for LogQueryConfigBuilder, instead it should be `LogQueryConfig.newBuilder()`
