Application Logs

Description

These functions provide access to the logs for deployed ShinyApps applications:

• showLogs() displays the logs.

• getLogs() returns the logged lines.

Supported servers: ShinyApps servers

Usage

showLogs(
  appPath = getwd(),
  appFile = NULL,
  appName = NULL,
  account = NULL,
  server = NULL,
  entries = 50,
  streaming = FALSE
)

getLogs(
  appPath = getwd(),
  appFile = NULL,
  appName = NULL,
  account = NULL,
  server = NULL,
  entries = 50
)

Arguments

appPath	The path to the directory or file that was deployed.
appFile	The path to the R source file that contains the application (for single file applications).
appName	The name of the application to show logs for. May be omitted if only one application deployment was made from appPath.
account	The account under which the application was deployed. May be omitted if only one account is registered on the system.
server	Server name. Required only if you use the same account name on multiple servers.
entries	The number of log entries to show. Defaults to 50 entries.
streaming	Deprecated. Streaming logs is not currently supported as the ShinyApps.io backend no longer supports this feature. If TRUE, an error will be thrown. Defaults to FALSE.

Value

getLogs() returns a data frame containing the logged lines.

Note

These functions only work for applications deployed to ShinyApps.io.
