Look at the Logs (LAL)

Search through specific provided logs to find specific information.

Where to find logs

If $PWD/.logsrc file is provided, read and use it as a primary source of logs.

The predefined places to look for logs are: relevant

• $PWD/.tmp/logs/default/*.logs - All will link relevant logs there.
• $PWD/.tmp/logs/runtime/*.logs - Runtime logs, like when running a service.
• $PWD/.tmp/logs/watcher/*.logs - Watcher logs, for tests, linting, etc. less relevant
• /var/log/*.logs - System logs, like when running a service. (ask for permission)
• /tmp/*.logs - Temporary logs, like when running a service.

Critical Rules

1. On logs format

Unless specified, logs are pure text files. There might be cases wher logs are in json format, for those cases use jq to search for the information.

2. If needed, truncate the logs, but with backups

If the logs are too big, you can truncate them, but make sure to keep a backup of the original logs. Using .bak extension is a good practice.
