Logfiles

Accessing log-files from the pandorabox main-server

NOTE: This is reserved for moderators/staff only (feel free to submit your public-key if it isn't installed yet)

SSH Access

The log-files can be accessed via ssh:

# open ssh connection with "readonly" user
ssh readonly@pandorabox.io
# change to logs-directory
cd /data/pandorabox.io/data/minetest/

The log-files are in a rotation and get gzipped periodically (depending on size/elapsed time)

debug.txt is always the current logfile, for example:

Searching for events

Searching in the active logs;

# search for a player (all actions)
grep BuckarooBanzai debug.txt
# filter by placed blocks
grep BuckarooBanzai debug.txt | grep places

Searching in the gzipped archives:

zgrep BuckarooBanzai debug.txt-20210501.gz

NOTE: the archives get moved to the long-term storage from time to time (manually)
