I find this question better than the linked duplicate, as it applies solely to socket.io, the linked question has other frameworks involved. — RozzA, Dec 08 '13 at 08:10

You have to set log level on socket.io instance:

io.set('log level', 1);

Lower number will give you less info ( with 0 I guess none? ).

include this in the app.js where you have server code

io.set('log level', 1);

This is no more up to date.

According to http://socket.io/docs/logging-and-debugging you have to use the debugging scope

DEBUG=* node yourfile.js

in order to output debugging messages.

However, for a example, when I have "chat_server.js" and apply

DEBUG=* node chat_server.js

then Node.js tells me:

DEBUG=* node chat_server.js ^ SyntaxError: Unexpected token *

Anyone having an idea why scope '*' is not accepted?

That looks like good syntax if you're running on a Linux based system. Any chance that you're using Windows? – Guy Aug 27 '15 at 17:30
