PM2 log output limits

Question

I'm happy with how PM2 formats and outputs the log with

pm2 logs app

But currently it truncates the log to 20 last entries:

[PM2] Tailing last 20 lines for [app] process ...

Is there a way to change the limits and output it in a similar manner, but with 1000 lines, for example?

Try this

pm2 logs 'YOUR_PROCESS' --lines 1000

Great. Is there a way to force this behaviour by default with pm2 config file? – Estus Flask Feb 19 '17 at 15:03
I think no. But you can check their documentation. – Edgar Feb 19 '17 at 15:09
Didn't find anything on that, adding `lines` to config couldn't help as well. But thanks anyway. – Estus Flask Feb 19 '17 at 15:15
@CharithJayasanka logs are stored in some files, you just can read the file content – Edgar Jan 22 '21 at 17:35
is there a way to continually listen or read logs, instead of me executing this command again and again? – Anish Jain Jul 25 '22 at 07:45
When you run this command it is streaming the logs. – Edgar Jul 26 '22 at 08:29
