'Ubuntu where to see console.logs

So I am putting my app on a server and I want to see some console logs generated from my nodejs app. Before putting it on the server I saw the output of my console log on my terminal, but where do I find the output for these on Ubuntu? I'm running version 16.04 on Ubuntu

Lifted straight from @SlovyanskiyYehor comment two years ago, but I missed his answer as a comment. Also answered here: Make pm2 log to console.

If you are using pm2 to start your node.js application, you can use: 

pm2 logs

or for just a single app running in pm2:

pm2 logs yourAppNameHere

Solution 2:[2]

If you are using some bash script which is runed by cron for example, you can specify file where you need to output all logs of your app It will looks like that:

myApp > /path/to/logs/myAppLogs.txt

This command will run application myApp and put all logs into "/path/to/logs/myAppLogs.txt"

Also you can put this string into cron directly without some bash scripts

Of course you can see all console logs by user here ~/.bash_history but it`s not always useful

If you used pm2, you can check log in this folder:

/root/.pm2/log
