pw cluster syslog

pw cluster syslog

Print a cluster controller's system log

Synopsis

The pw cluster syslog command prints the system journal of a cloud cluster's controller, streamed from the cluster's agent. Use --follow to keep printing new lines; on a cluster that is still provisioning, it first waits for the controller's agent to connect. Use --tail to choose how many recent lines to load first, and --since to start from a point in time.

pw cluster syslog <cluster> [flags]

Examples

  pw cluster syslog my-hpc
  
  # Follow the log, like tail -f
  pw cluster syslog -f my-hpc
  
  # Everything from the last 30 minutes
  pw cluster syslog --since 30m my-hpc
  
  # Everything since a point in time, then follow
  pw cluster syslog --since 2026-08-20T14:00:00Z -f my-hpc

Options

  -f, --follow         Keep printing new lines as they are logged
  -h, --help           help for syslog
      --since string   Only lines newer than this: a duration (30m, 2h) or an RFC3339 time
      --tail int       Number of recent lines to load first (default 200)
      --tz string      IANA time zone for timestamps, e.g. America/Chicago (default: the controller's)
