How to inspect logs of Astra Traffic Collector?

Note that the following command gives full logs of selected service.

If you need most recent logs, say last 5 minutes, you can use a small variant of the command by passing in a flag

./astra-cli collector logs --since=5m

If you need most recent logs, say last 1 hour, you can use a small variant of the command by passing in a flag

./astra-cli collector logs --since=1h

If you want to tail the logs, then you can use this command

./astra-cli collector logs --tail=0 -f

If you want to redirect the logs to a file for further inspection, you can use this command

./astra-cli collector logs --since=1h > collector.log 2>&1
