How do I see Meteor logs when the server is being run by another user?

Question

I'm currently using Nitrous.io for Meteor pair programming, but the server logs only show up for the user who is running the server. I tried meteor logs but it didn't work. Is there a log file that I can monitor with tail?

Answer 1

I suggest using a terminal multiplexer like Tmux, that way you guys can share the same terminal window.

We have some information on Tmux here:

You can ask your buddy to output the log to a shared folder, dirty and simple solution. You can also use some cloud based log system. Check this article about this topic by Arunoda: Link

Answer 3

What if you logged to a collection and this collection was visible to the developers only?
