How do I check the TURN Server logs?

Question

I have installed the open source TURN server(rfc5766-turn-server), I run it using the following command sudo turnserver -L my.domain.in -a -b /usr/local/etc/turnuserdb.conf -f -r domain.in

This is the output I get in terminal,

when a client is connected or using this TURN server, will I get any log in my terminal or anywhere else?

You should actually post this message to the rfc5766-Turn-Server mailing list. The author of the code, a few other helpful folks (and occasionally me), are quick to answer. – Hyperkeratosis

Answer 1

Also this is an very old question, I think it is still not properly answered yet! There are indeed log files under var/log/ but they are not very helpful.

CoTurn logs to the syslog! So you need to run

cat /var/log/syslog | grep turnserver

to see what is happening.

The default path of log seems to be:

/var/log/turn_*.log
