openlogs-server-logs

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Fetch and inspect recent local server logs in repos that use openlogs or the `ol` CLI. Use when a user asks what happened in the server, wants recent dev-server output, needs startup errors or stack traces, or asks you to check backend logs from `openlogs tail`, command-specific logs, or `.openlogs/latest.txt`.

Openlogs Server Logs

Use

openlogs tail

to retrieve recent server logs before asking the user to paste anything. Prefer the cleaned text log unless ANSI or raw terminal bytes matter.

Quick Start

Run
```
openlogs tail -n 200
```
to inspect the latest run in the project.
If the user mentions a specific command or service, run
```
openlogs tail <query> -n 200
```
to get the most recent matching run.
Use
```
ol tail -n 200
```
if the short alias is preferred.
Read
```
.openlogs/latest.txt
```
directly only when file access is simpler than spawning the command and you specifically want the latest overall run.
Use
```
openlogs tail --raw -n 200
```
only when color codes, cursor control, or exact terminal output matters.
Use
```
openlogs tail -f
```
for live follow mode.

Workflow

Try
```
openlogs tail -n 200
```
.
If the user names a command or service, try
```
openlogs tail <query> -n 200
```
.
If that fails, try
```
ol tail -n 200
```
.
If the CLI is unavailable but the workspace is accessible, read
```
.openlogs/latest.txt
```
or the matching command-specific file in
```
.openlogs/
```
.
If the log directory is missing, check whether the server was started with
```
openlogs <command>
```
or
```
ol <command>
```
.
If it was not, tell the user to relaunch the server through openlogs, then inspect the resulting logs.

Common Commands

bash

openlogs tail -n 100
openlogs tail dev -n 100
openlogs tail server -f
openlogs tail -f
openlogs tail --raw -n 100
openlogs tail --out-dir logs -n 200
openlogs bun dev
ol npm run dev

Interpretation Rules

Prefer the text log for analysis because it strips ANSI noise.
```
openlogs tail
```
without a query means the latest run overall in the current project.
```
openlogs tail <query>
```
means the latest run whose command or explicit name contains that query.
Switch to
```
--raw
```
only when the cleaned log hides something important.
Quote the exact failing lines or error block in your answer when useful.
State whether you are looking at the latest captured run or a live-following stream.
If the agent cannot access local gitignored files, ask the user to run
```
openlogs tail -n 200
```
and paste the output.

Response Shape

Start with the command or file you used.
Summarize the likely issue in 1 to 3 sentences.
Include the most relevant error lines.
If logs are missing, say exactly what command the user should rerun under openlogs.
