# View a high-level application history in Amazon EMR
**Note**
We recommend that you use the persistent application interface for an improved user experience that retains app history for up to 30 days. The high-level application history described on this page isn't available in the new Amazon EMR console ([https://console.aws.amazon.com/emr](https://console.aws.amazon.com/emr)). For more information, see [View persistent application user interfaces in Amazon EMR](app-history-spark-UI.md).
With Amazon EMR releases 5.8.0 to 5.36.0 and 6.x releases up to 6.8.0, you can view a high-level application history from the **Application user interfaces** tab in the old Amazon EMR console. An Amazon EMR **Application user interface** keeps the summary of application history for 7 days after an application has completed.
## Considerations and limitations
Consider the following limitations when you use the **Application user interfaces** tab in the old Amazon EMR console.
+ You can only access the high-level application history feature when using Amazon EMR releases 5.8.0 to 5.36.0 and 6.x releases up to 6.8.0. Effective January 23, 2023, Amazon EMR will discontinue high-level application history for all versions. If you use Amazon EMR version 5.25.0 or higher, we recommend that you use the persistent application user interface instead.
+ The high-level application history feature does not support Spark Streaming applications.
+ One-click access to persistent application user interfaces is currently not available for Amazon EMR clusters with multiple master nodes or for Amazon EMR clusters integrated with AWS Lake Formation.
## Example: View a high-level application history
The following sequence demonstrates a drill-down through a Spark or YARN application into job details using the **Application user interfaces** tab on the cluster details page of the old console.
To view cluster details, select a cluster **Name** from the **Clusters** list. To view information about YARN container logs, you must enable logging for your cluster. For more information, see [Configure cluster logging and debugging](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/emr/latest/ManagementGuide/emr-plan-debugging.html). For Spark application history, the information provided in the summary table is only a subset of the information available through the Spark history server UI.
In the **Application user interfaces** tab under **High-level application history**, you can expand a row to show the diagnostic summary for a Spark application or select an **Application ID** link to view details about a different application.

When you select an **Application ID** link, the UI changes to show the **YARN application** details for that application. In the **Jobs** tab of **YARN application** details, you can choose the **Description** link for a job to display details for that job.

On the job details page, you can expand information about individual job stages, and then select the **Description** link to see stage details.

On the stage details page, you can view key metrics for stage tasks and executors. You can also view task and executor logs using the **View logs** links.
