Logging

Outset logs to standard out and to the macOS system log

• ERROR and INFO events are always sent to stdout
• DEBUG events will appear in the system log but can also be sent to stdout if Outset is invoked with the --debug argument

To view the system log use the Console app or run the following command in terminal to stream events:

log stream --predicate 'subsystem == "io.macadmins.Outset"' --info --debug

When using Console.app, don't forget to turn on "Include Info Messages" and "Include Debug Messages" from the Action menu

In addition, logs are written to /usr/local/outset/logs/outset.log if using a flat log file is preferred.

To enable debug logging to be recorded in the log file run the following:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/io.macadmins.Outset.plist verbose_logging -bool true
