Following the documentation, it should be possible to log from a Foxx service. https://docs.arangodb.com/2.8/Foxx/Develop/Console.html (looks like this is for an old version and missing in doc for newer versions)
In my script is a console.info("this is a test"); but where does this go and how do I read it?
I cannot find the _foxxlog collections, not sure where it should be and what user should have access rights. There is a log page in the admin interface of Arango but it is not there.
The documentation reads: As the log entries are logged to a collection in the database, you can easily query them in your own application.
What collection in what database, and if I look at all of them, there is no logging collection, anywhere.
update
Found the foxx-manager applicatoin, command-line kung-fu, and it has an option development which is not in the help so it's all a guess.
This didn't work at first but now I added --server.database <mydb> to it this command executes fine. Still clueless where the log data is.
Command result
Activated development mode for Service undefined version undefined on mount point /geo
Is this the mount point of my Foxx service? Is this a new point where I should be able to find the log data? Have tried it all, still nothing. Now I log to somewhere I don't know and I activate some mount point somewhere?!
conclusion
- Create a service containing
console.info("test"); - Activate development mode with
foxx-manager development --server.database <db> <service mount> - Use Logs menu
- Re-activate development mode after update
