Monitoring Logs
ENiGMA½ does not produce much to stdout. Logs are produced by Bunyan which outputs each entry as a JSON object.
Start by installing bunyan and making it available on your path:
npm install bunyan -g
or via Yarn:
yarn global add bunyan
To tail logs in a colorized and pretty format, issue the following command:
tail -F /path/to/enigma-bbs/logs/enigma-bbs.log | bunyan
See bunyan --help for more information on what you can do!
Example
Logs without Bunyan:
tail -F /path/to/enigma-bbs/logs/enigma-bbs.log
{"name":"ENiGMA½ BBS","hostname":"nu-dev","pid":25002,"level":30,"eventName":"updateFileAreaStats","action":{"type":"method","location":"core/file_base_area.js","what":"updateAreaStatsScheduledEvent","args":[]},"reason":"Schedule","msg":"Executing scheduled event action...","time":"2018-12-15T16:00:00.001Z","v":0}
{"name":"ENiGMA½ BBS","hostname":"nu-dev","pid":25002,"level":30,"module":"FTN BSO","msg":"Performing scheduled message import/toss...","time":"2018-12-15T16:00:00.002Z","v":0}

Oof!
