The airtime-log command

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

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

To view just the Liquidsoap log output in real-time, you could enter the command:

sudo airtime-log -t liquidsoap
