How to debug with logs

In this chapter, we’ll cover how to view the logs and understand what they mean.

For instance, if the Astra AI agent is running at localhost:3000, you might see output similar to the following in the logs:

>_ Bash

...
2024/08/13 05:18:38 INFO handlerPing start channelName=agora_aa1aou requestId=435851e4-b5ff-437a-9930-14ae94b1dee7 service=HTTP_SERVER
2024/08/13 05:18:38 INFO handlerPing end worker="&{ChannelName:agora_aa1aou LogFile:/tmp/astra/app-5ea31f2d5d7a5e48a9dbc583959c1b17-1723525636779876885.log PropertyJsonFile:/tmp/property-5ea31f2d5d7a5e48a9dbc583959c1b17-1723525636779876885.json Pid:245 QuitTimeoutSeconds:60 CreateTs:1723525636 UpdateTs:1723526318}" requestId=435851e4-b5ff-437a-9930-14ae94b1dee7 service=HTTP_SERVER
[GIN] 2024/08/13 - 05:18:38 | 200 |     2.65725ms |    192.168.65.1 | POST     "/ping"
...

The line starting with LogFile: is what we’re interested in. To view the log file, use the following command:

>_Bash

cat /tmp/astra/app-5ea31f2d5d7a5e48a9dbc583959c1b17-1723525636779876885.log

You should then see entries like these:

>_Bash

2024/08/13 04:40:43.496120 INFO GetChatCompletionsStream for input text: [What's going on? ] end of segment with sentence [] sent extension=OPENAI_CHATGPT_EXTENSION

When you see logs like this, it means the system is working correctly and logging each sentence you say.
