How to console log in couchdb

Question

First off I'm really loving all the things you can do with CouchDB. I'm coming from a lot of front end JavaScript and I use console.log() for lots of debugging and testing tasks. I'm wondering how to console.log or what a better way to debug might be in CouchDB.

Any suggestions would be really awesome!

CouchDB exposes a log method for debugging views. (presumably it also works for show, list, update and validation functions too) It sends output to the couch.log file on your system.

Hmmm...okay, and I think logging is also visible in the console where couch is running, if you're developing locally. How do I call the method? – Costa Michailidis Mar 09 '12 at 01:56
It isn't obvious where the link is. So: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_view_API#Debugging_Views – Tyler Biscoe Aug 01 '15 at 20:57
