- To view server errors, run tail -F /var/log/wevote/wevoteserver.log
- To view all the server activity, run tail -F /var/log/upstart/wevote-api.log
- To only view activity that is coming from localhost:3000 on your computer, run tail -F /var/log/upstart/wevote-api.log | grep <voter_device_id>
- Note: You can get your device_id by navigating to localhost:3000, opening chrome developer tools and finding the cookie labeled voter_device_id (under Resources > Cookies > Localhost)
