The airtime-log command provides convenient access to the logging output from the services which make up the Airtime system: media-monitor, recorder, playout, liquidsoap and web.
Using this command requires root privileges (sudo on Ubuntu). Entering the command without any options returns a list of options that you can specify:
sudo airtime-log Usage: airtime-log [options] --view|-v <string> Display log file media-monitor|recorder|playout|liquidsoap|web --dump|-d <string> Collect all log files and compress into a tarball media-monitor|recorder|playout|liquidsoap|web (ALL by default) --tail|-t <string> View any new entries appended to log files in real-time media-monitor|recorder|playout|liquidsoap|web (ALL by default)
For example, to view the media-monitor log, you could use the command:
sudo airtime-log -v media-monitor
The server console will display something like the following output:

Use the PageUp and PageDown keys on your keyboard to navigate through the log file, or press the q key to quit the viewer.
To dump all log files and compress them into a tarball placed in the working directory, you could add the -d switch to the command:
sudo airtime-log -d Creating Airtime logs tgz file at /root/logs/airtime-log-all-2012-11-14-16-22-02.tgz
To view just the Liquidsoap log output in real-time, you could enter the command:
sudo airtime-log -t liquidsoap Tail liquidsoap log 2012/11/14 15:47:20 [server:3] New client: localhost. 2012/11/14 15:47:20 [server:3] Client localhost disconnected. 2012/11/14 15:47:20 [server:3] New client: localhost. 2012/11/14 15:47:20 [lang:3] dynamic_source.get_id 2012/11/14 15:47:20 [server:3] Client localhost disconnected. 2012/11/14 16:17:20 [server:3] New client: localhost. 2012/11/14 16:17:20 [server:3] Client localhost disconnected. 2012/11/14 16:17:20 [server:3] New client: localhost. 2012/11/14 16:17:20 [lang:3] dynamic_source.get_id 2012/11/14 16:17:20 [server:3] Client localhost disconnected.
Press the Ctrl+C keys to interrupt the real-time log output and return to the server console.
