postgresqlHow do I view PostgreSQL logs?


To view PostgreSQL logs, you need to access the log files located in the data/pg_log directory.

For example, you can use the following command to view the log file:

$ cat data/pg_log/postgresql-Sat.log

The output will contain the log entries of the PostgreSQL server.

The parts of the command are as follows:

  1. cat - the command used to view the contents of a text file
  2. data/pg_log/postgresql-Sat.log - the path to the log file

You can also use other commands like tail to view the last few lines of the log file.

$ tail data/pg_log/postgresql-Sat.log

For more information, you can refer to the PostgreSQL documentation.
