How to see nodejs logs?

Support

I am thinking of running a node app on netlify, but can’t see to find where would I look for the logs to debug issues.

for example if the console prints a log where would I see this log?

I think you’re trying to run something like a live sever, which is not supported. Only static HTML, CSS, JS content is served by Netlify. Thus, there are no logs.

Yep, thanks for clarifiying

Is this still up to date? I see that Netlify supports next.js which also has a server component (I found this while looking for the api’s logs too).

Yes it is still up to date. Netlify still doesn’t run Node.js apps (like Heroku does for example). If you’re talking about Next.js, they run on Netlify Functions which are short-lived one-off invocations that need to be fired everytime a request is made to them.

Logs are available for those as well as Edge Functions.
