Log output format

ChirpStack (v4)
1

Is there a way to make logs usable? On Ubuntu 23.10 /var/syslog is FULL of chirpstack logs, all escaped as to be essentially unreadable. Any ideas how to fix?

Reference question here Log file format

the journalctl command yields
No journal files were found.

It depends on your system, but you should be able to read logs through journalctl -f -u chirpstack

There is also an option to turn on JSON log output (see configuration file).

Well, no, I just get “No journal files were found”, and trying to reconfigure Ubuntu to conform isn’t trivial.

This is what it takes to make it work with syslog-
