Read log files
**************
The logging behaviour is determined by the value of :ref:`env_docker_logs` inside your ``.env``
file. By default logs are mounted to the host operating system for convenient access.

Mounted logs
============
By default log files for PHP, the webserver and the MySQL server are mounted to the host system
into your Devilbox git directory under ``./log/``. All logs are separated by service version
in the following format: ``./log/<service>-<version>/``
The log directory structure would look something like this:
.. code-block:: bash
host> cd path/to/devilbox
host> tree log
log/
├── nginx-stable/
│   ├── nginx-stable/
│   ├── defaultlocalhost-access.log
│   ├── defaultlocalhost-error.log
│   ├── <project-name>-access.log # Each project has its own access log
│   ├── <project-name>-error.log # Each project has its own error log
├── php-fpm-7.1/
│   ├── php-fpm.access
│   ├── php-fpm.error
Use your favorite tools to view log files such as ``tail``, ``less``, ``more``, ``cat`` or others.
.. important::
Currently logs are only mounted for PHP, HTTPD and MYSQL container.
All other services will log to Docker logs.
Docker logs
===========
You can also change the behaviour where logs are streamed by setting :ref:`env_docker_logs`
to ``1`` inside your ``.env`` file. When doing logs are sent to Docker logs.
When using this approach, you need to use the ``docker-compose logs`` command to view your log
files from within the Devilbox git directory.
.. code-block:: bash
:emphasize-lines: 2
host> cd path/to/devilbox
host> docker-compose logs
When you want to continuously watch the log output (such as ``tail -f``), you need to append ``-f``
to the command.
.. code-block:: bash
:emphasize-lines: 2
host> cd path/to/devilbox
host> docker-compose logs -f
When you only want to have logs displayed for a single service, you can also append the service
name (works with or without ``-f`` as well):
.. code-block:: bash
:emphasize-lines: 2
host> cd path/to/devilbox
host> docker-compose logs php -f
.. important::
This currently does not work for the MySQL container, which will always log to file.
Checklist
=========
1. You know how to switch between file and Docker logs
2. You know where log files are mounted
3. You know how to access Docker logs
