Collect Cmdop logs
cmdop logs is how you read what a machine’s agent did: the last 50 lines by
default, --lines for a wider window, -f to follow live, and --path to hand
the current location to your own log tooling. Ask for the path rather than
hard-coding one — Cmdop does not publish a fixed log location across releases
and operating systems.
Start with a bounded recent window. cmdop logs shows the last 50 lines by
default; --lines (or -n) widens it:
cmdop logs --lines 100When you are diagnosing rather than reading, run cmdop doctor alongside it —
it names what is wrong instead of leaving you to infer it from the log.
Follow new output while reproducing an issue:
cmdop logs -fTo integrate with host tooling, ask Cmdop for the current location instead of hard-coding one:
cmdop logs --pathcmdop logs --open opens the containing folder on hosts with a graphical file
manager. On a headless server, prefer --path.
For retention, forwarding, redaction, and rotation, use the host’s approved logging system. Cmdop does not publish a fixed log path, schema, rotation size, or retention period across releases and operating systems. Avoid collecting credentials or one-time sign-in links alongside diagnostic output.
Common questions
Where are Cmdop logs stored?
Ask the CLI with cmdop logs --path. Cmdop does not publish one fixed log path
across releases and operating systems, so hard-coded paths are brittle.
How do I watch Cmdop logs while reproducing an issue?
Run cmdop logs -f on the affected machine, and use cmdop doctor or
cmdop status alongside it so you have a verdict, not only raw log lines.
What should I avoid collecting in logs?
Avoid credentials, join keys, connection PINs, and one-time sign-in links. Use the host’s normal logging policy for retention, forwarding, redaction, and rotation.
