PM2 log output limits

Question

I'm happy with how PM2 formats and outputs the log with

pm2 logs app

But currently it truncates the log to 20 last entries:

[PM2] Tailing last 20 lines for [app] process ...

Is there a way to change the limits and output it in a similar manner, but with 1000 lines, for example?

Answer 1

Try this

pm2 logs 'YOUR_PROCESS' --lines 1000

Great. Is there a way to force this behaviour by default with pm2 config file? – Latency

I think no. But you can check their documentation. – Neri

Didn't find anything on that, adding lines to config couldn't help as well. But thanks anyway. – Latency

@CharithJayasanka logs are stored in some files, you just can read the file content – Neri

is there a way to continually listen or read logs, instead of me executing this command again and again? – Globetrotter

When you run this command it is streaming the logs. – Neri

but how can you show cursor view in terminal, if your logs is too many, then you can't see them all? – Metry

Answer 2

pm2 logs 'process_name' --lines 500
