Access logs for apps hosted in a shiny server

[williamlai2]

Hi, this is probably similar to #5. shinylogs works fine locally, but there does not seem to be any output anywhere when in shiny server. How do you access the logs? What settings should I be using? I have admin access and have had a look in the usual places including the log folder for the particular app.

Which storage mode did you use ?

For saving logs as Json files, you can do something like:

track_usage(storage_mode = store_json(path = "/var/log/shinylogs"))

and make sure :

• path exist
• is writeable, change permissions if needed

Then logs will be available in that folder

Yes, that seems to work. I was just using track_usage(storage_mode = store_json(path = "logs/")) initially.

I changed it as per your advice. Created the folder then changed the chmod permissions. Thanks.
