Viewing Cron Job Logs​

To view logs from your cron jobs, SSH into the server and navigate to the cron logs directory:

ssh app@<your-server-ip>
cd /home/app/_cron_logs

Logs are organized by job ID. Find the file with your job ID to see the output of that specific cron job.

tip

If you're not sure which job ID corresponds to which cron job, check the job IDs in the Appliku dashboard on the Cron Jobs tab.
