How to enable debug logs
Backend logs
important
This is only available on versions:
- SuperTokens-node >= v9.1.2
- SuperTokens-golang >= v0.5.5
- SuperTokens-python >= v0.6.3
Our backend SDK provides useful logs that can help with debugging. To enable logging, you need to set the debug setting to true in the init function call:
import supertokens from "supertokens-node";
supertokens.init({
debug: true,
supertokens: {
connectionURI: "...",
},
appInfo: {
apiDomain: "...",
appName: "...",
websiteDomain: "..."
},
recipeList: [/*...*/]
});
Logs on your terminal have the following shape:
com.supertokens {"t": "2022-04-09T08:44:49.057Z", "sdkVer": "...", "message": "Started SuperTokens with debug logging (supertokens.init called)", "file": "..."}
- t: The time the log generated
- sdkVer: Version of the SDK you are using
- message: The log message
- file: The file and line number from where this log originated.
Frontend logs
Add enableDebugLogs when calling the init function:
What type of UI are you using?
import React from 'react';
import SuperTokens from "supertokens-auth-react";
SuperTokens.init({
enableDebugLogs: true,
appInfo: { /*...*/ },
recipeList: [/*...*/]
});
SuperTokens core logs
If you want to change the log levels, you can set the core's log_level configuration to reflect this:
- DEBUG: Prints out all the log levels
- INFO: Prints out INFO, WARN and ERROR levels
- WARN: Prints out WARN and ERROR levels
- ERROR Prints out ERROR levels
- NONE: No logs output
By default, the core prints out INFO, WARN, and ERROR logs.
