cxserver uses bunyan for logging. It can simply log to stdout or it can even log to a logstash instance through gelf-stream. The logging is configurable in cxserver configuration. You can define multiple logging streams. A simple stdout logging stream is { level: 'debug',   stream: process.stdout  } A gelf stream can be { // Use gelf-stream -> logstash type: 'gelf', host: 'localhost', // host where logstash with gelf input plugin is running port: 12201, // port of host where logstash with gelf input plugin is running level: 'info' // log INFO and above to gelf } To use such a gelf stream you need to have a working and running logstash with gelf input plugin

The steps to setup a logstash instance is given below briefly input { gelf{ host =>  localhost } }  output { file { path => "./path/to/test-%{+YYYY-MM-dd}.txt" } } Run logstash bin/logstash -v -f gelf-agent.conf Now restart cxserver and you should see the log getting added to the log file added to the output section of about configuration
 * 1) Install logstash
 * 2) Create a gelf input plugin configuration. For this create a file named gelf-agent.conf with following content. The output section is optional. It helps you to get logs in a file too. It is possible to configure to use elastic search and all. Read the logstash documentation for this.
