Enabling trace in your browser Dev Tools
Trace=1 as a parameter in chrome dev tools for debugging
To log all database queries, change log_statement in /etc/postgresql/13/main/postgresql.conf
# CUSTOM
log_statement = 'all' # none, ddl, mod, all
The stacktrace was logged to stdout/journalctl. Supposedly, you can enable debug logging for node modules by adding DEBUG=<modulename> to the environment.
Adding this to /etc/systemd/system/meshcentral.service should do it but it didn't seem to do anything.
I think that's because Mesh uses the trace logging in the browser instead of logging things in the server logs.
Environment=DEBUG=mesh*
If you want to change node to meshcentral in journalctl, add this to /etc/systemd/system/meshcentral.service.
SyslogIdentifier=meshcentral
Server: Logging it all
To log everything that's possible, prepare the log directory.
mkdir /meshcentral/meshcentral-logs/
chown tactical:tactical logs
ln -s ../meshcentral-logs/log.txt /meshcentral/meshcentral-data/log.txt
And then add this to your config.
"meshErrorLogPath": "/meshcentral/meshcentral-logs/",
"authLog": "/meshcentral/meshcentral-logs/auth.log",
"log": [
"cookie",
"dispatch",
"main",
"peer",
"web",
"webrequest",
"relay",
"webrelaydata",
"webrelay",
"mps",
"mpscmd",
"swarm",
"swarmcmd",
"agentupdate",
"agent",
"cert",
"db",
"email",
"amt",
"httpheaders",
"websocket"
],
You'll then have 3 files:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tactical tactical 2593 Feb 2 12:22 auth.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 tactical tactical 147593 Feb 2 12:31 log.txt
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tactical tactical 381 Feb 2 12:02 mesherrors.txt
And to make it truly log everything, change the following in meshcentral.js around line 3530.
Old:
obj.fs.writeSync(obj.xxLogFile, new Date().toLocaleTimeString() + ' - ' + source + ': ' + Array.prototype.slice.call(...args).join('') + '\r\n');
New:
obj.fs.writeSync(obj.xxLogFile, new Date().toLocaleTimeString() + ' - ' + source + ': ' + args.join(' ') + '\r\n');
log.txt will now log everything in the Trace tab, but not formatted as nice.
Restricting server to specific IP(s)
When doing debugging on my development server, I use this line in the settings section to block all agent connections except the agent I want:
"agentAllowedIp": [ "192.168.2.147" ],
Of course, this is just for debugging.
