The Build Log page can be found in Continua by navigating to a particular build and clicking the Log tab. The build log that is displayed shows every action that was executed and

Part of a build's cleanup policy is to cleanup the build workspace and optionally delete the build log. Alternatively, you may delete the workspace directory or specifically the build log from your file system. In either case, navigating to the Log tab for a build will show this error message.
Logs can be deleted as part of a Cleanup Policy. Each cleanup policy can be set to specifically delete build logs which means that any affected builds will lose their logs. Once a log has been removed it cannot be recovered.
Alternatively, a log will not have been generated if the build was cancelled before it was sent to an agent.
