How to monitor server-side log when using Meteor and Meteor Up

Question

I'm using Meteor and Meteor UP for deployment. So far so good. I can deploy my project to my test Ubuntu server.

My problem is I don't know how to debug on server. If I use node.js and express, I can just write console.log("some error") to see logs.

The log file seems /var/log/upstart/.log But I could only find

 >> stepping down to gid: meteoruser
 >> stepping down to uid: meteoruser

Is there any way to output "console.log(something)" ?

I use Ubuntu-14.04 and Meteor 1.1.0.2.

Answer 1

Yes, there is. Do console.log(something) as you normally would in your server-side code. Then from the Ubuntu server in your meteor-up directory (same place where you do mup deploy), do mup logs -f

That will allow you to monitor the logs in real-time.

UPDATE: For those using the new mupx, you can check the logs with mupx logs -f
