Agree that the post base anchorage requirement was not met.
The maximum design load was about 2.1 kips at each post.
Obviously, the single 1/2" dia. lag screw will not carry the beam reaction from the side of the log post.

It is always important to know that we need to check the side connection method for the potential rotation from the member caused by the offset from its design loads.
