Nssm + Log user

General
1

Hello everyone,

I installed Node-RED a month ago and I'm testing it thoroughly.

For automatic startup, I'm using nssm.exe, which runs it as a service. This works very well, but there's a drawback: the connections made by the different clients aren't visible.

When starting with a command prompt session, the connection and disconnection logs were visible.

How can I see the connected clients once the service is running?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @jlt57
Connections to what exactly?

The editor or dashboard?
Im not aware of anything triggered in the editor (I could be wrong)

I don't use dashboard (1 or 2), But I believe there are events you can capture, based on the connected web socket.

You can use nssm to configure the service to write the Node-RED console output to a log file (and to rotate them so they don't get too large).

Details are on the NSSM - the Non-Sucking Service Manager page (which is having problems at the moment, if you get a 504 error reload the page)
