Hi @Evascene_void. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Certainly! Nuxt 3 provides several options for server-side logging. Here are a few approaches you can use: 1. Built-in Logging: Nuxt 3 has a built-in logging system that you can use in your server-side code. You can access it using the useLogger function from @nuxt/kit. Here's an example:

   import { defineNuxtModule, useLogger } from '@nuxt/kit'

   export default defineNuxtModule({
     setup(options, nuxt) {
       const logger = useLogger('my-module')
       logger.info('Hello from my module!')
     }
   })

   import { defineNuxtModule, useLogger } from '@nuxt/kit'

   export default defineNuxtModule({
     setup(options, nuxt) {
       const logger = useLogger('my-module')
       logger.info('Hello from my module!')
     }
   })

This logger is based on consola and provides various log levels and formatting options. Source 2. Server Middleware Logging: You can create a server middleware to log requests. Here's an example:

   // server/middleware/log.ts
   export default defineEventHandler((event) => {
     console.log('New request: ' + getRequestURL(event))
   })

   // server/middleware/log.ts
   export default defineEventHandler((event) => {
     console.log('New request: ' + getRequestURL(event))
   })

This will log every incoming request to your server. Source 3. Nitro Plugins: You can create a Nitro plugin to add more advanced logging capabilities:

   // server/plugins/nitroPlugin.ts
   export default defineNitroPlugin((nitroApp) => {
     console.log('Nitro plugin', nitroApp)
     // Add your custom logging logic here
   })

   // server/plugins/nitroPlugin.ts
   export default defineNitroPlugin((nitroApp) => {
     console.log('Nitro plugin', nitroApp)
     // Add your custom logging logic here
   })

This allows you to hook into Nitro's lifecycle events and add custom logging. Source 4. Development Logs Feature: Nuxt 3 has a feature that records all console events on the server (both Nitro runtime and Vue runtime) and streams them to the client. This can be useful for debugging. You can enable this feature by setting features.devLogs in your Nuxt configuration. Source While these methods don't create a log file like Laravel, they provide ways to log server-side events. If you need to write logs to a file, you might need to implement a custom solution or use a third-party logging library that supports file output. Remember, for production environments, you should consider using a more robust logging solution that can handle high volumes of logs and provide features like log rotation and centralized log management. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

you mean server logs ? if my site is hosted on aws using nginx what would be the best way to capture the outputs? We have setup of pm2 @L422Y Is this a normal practice? @L422Y

I'm kind of in the same boat - I need to completely override Nuxt's default logging. It appears that the behavior is different when in dev mode vs build / preview. I'm only concerned about build / preview / deployed. Is there a way to capture all default Nuxt / Nitro logging and erroring to not output by default so that I can create my own custom format?

Thanks a lot man I will check it You can't basically, it's internal stuff. Better to leverage using pm2 logs @cg Also, you do the same stuff on your nuxt websites? Anything that we can use pm2 logs to view in dashboard style logs for monitoring purpose in real time? Alright I will research in deep on it. Just glanced over it @L422Y Thanks bro
