Redis write to log and view log

Question

When executing an eval script from a remote location.

How can we log so we can evaluate what is happening?

 local name = KEYS[1]
 local key = KEYS[2]
 
 local desired = ARGV[1]
 local expecting = ARGV[2]
 local expires = ARGV[3]
 local channel = ARGV[4] 
 local message = ARGV[5]
 redis.log(...) ? 

And where does such logs go? How can they be viewed?

• Vishal Singh: To write to the log you can use something like redis.log(redis.LOG_WARNING, "foo bar")

Answer 1

If you configured logfile in redis.conf, the logs will go to that file. If logfile is empty string, i.e. the default value, and redis-server is not daemonized, the logs will be printed to standard output. If it's empty, and redis-server is daemonized, logs go to /dev/null.

• mjs: Did you read my question? I would like to send something to the log from my lua script. what is the command? redis.log( ... ) ?
• for_stack: Yes, you can use the redis.log to do log in script, and the log goes to where I mentioned in the answer.
• mjs: hehe i was just guessing with my pseudo code ;)
