How to view pm2 command line arguments passed to Node.js at startup?

Question

As a server administrator, I would like to view the command line arguments that a Node.js service was started with using pm2. (The ones that Node.js uses via process.argv)

The command pm2 show my-service-name gives information around that service but does not display the command that was used to start it.

e.g. pm2 start index.js -- myProcessArgument

Can anyone please tell me where I can see myProcessArgument, or even better, the full line above?

Answer 1

All you have to do is :

pm2 describe <id of application or name>

Example

pm2 describe 1 or pm2 describe app

For Json Output

pm2 jlist

The output should have script args tag that will describe all command line arguments,You can find more information here

Gildea

does that show ALL of the command-line args? it looks truncated on my system – Tippett

you can try pm2 jlist it should output raw JSON format – Gildea
