Configure CLI Logging Preferences
The config namespace in the Contentstack CLI provides commands to configure various settings, including logging preferences.
Prerequisites
- Contentstack account
- Contentstack CLI installed
Commands
Set a Logging Configuration for the CLI
The config:set:log command lets you configure the logging behavior of the Contentstack CLI. You can set the preferred log level and specify a file path for storing log outputs.
- If the --level flag is not provided, the CLI will prompt you to select a log level interactively.
- If the --path flag is not specified, the CLI will prompt you to enter a file path for log storage.
Usage
csdx config:set:log [--level <level>] [--path <path>]Options
| Flag | Short Flag | Description |
|---|---|---|
| --level | - | Set the log level for the CLI. Supported values: debug, info, warn, error |
| --path | - | Specify the directory path where logs should be saved. |
| --show-console-logs | - | Enable console logging. Use --no-show-console-logs to disable it. |
Examples
- Set log level to debug
csdx config:set:log --level debug - Set log level to info and specify a log file path:
csdx config:set:log --level info --path ./logs/app.log
Warning: The configuration key for this setting changed between major versions. V1 stored it as log["show-console-logs"] and the current CLI reads log["showConsoleLogs"]. After you upgrade, the older key is ignored with no warning and console logging falls back to its default. Run csdx config:set:log --show-console-logs once after upgrading to write the key in the form the current CLI reads.
Get the Current Logging Configuration for the CLI
The config:get:log command retrieves the current logging settings, including the log level and the file path where logs are stored. If no configuration is set, the CLI will indicate that no logging configuration is available.
