Morphology
The compound is compositionally predictable if the learner knows the technical sense of log = 'record' (record + line → a single entry in a log), so in that case the meaning follows directly from the constituents. However, log is polysemous (the provided constituent definition is the nautical tool) and the computer/record sense is domain-specific, so a B1 learner who only knows the non-technical sense would not reliably infer the MWE meaning without exposure.
Etymology
Log line comes from the idea of a 'log' as a record and a 'line' as one entry. A single log line is like one short record of an event in a computer 'log', so it means one recorded message or event.
