Make pm2 log to console

Question

I am running a node webserver using pm2. Since pm2 spawns another process and redirects stdout and stderr to files, I have to look somewhere else for the logs. Ideally, I would like to have the node process output to the same console window that I've run pm2 from. Otherwise, I would settle for pm2 run the node process with an active console window and have stdout and stderr of the node process write to that console window. How can this be achieved? I'm on a windows machine.

Answer 1

I believe you can also see the stdout and stderr of a process that is running daemonized by the command pm2 logs or pm2 logs [app-name].

Answer 2

you can easily achieve that by starting another terminal/console and run this command

 pm2 log 

logs everything to the terminal except console.log

 pm2 logs 

logs everything to the terminal and console.log

notice the 's' in the second command
