How to view log files while using Memgraph with Docker?

Question

I am using Memgraph with Docker and I want to access today's log files. What is the easiest way to do that?

Answer 1

To view the log files you first need to enter the Docker container where Memgraph is running. Then follow these steps:

1. Execute the command docker ps to find the ID of the container, CONTAINER_ID.
2. Then, execute the command docker exec -it CONTAINER_ID bash
3. Now you can use the command cat /var/log/memgraph/memgraph_2022-03-03.log

to check today's log file.
